THE latest arrest of four individuals who are suspected to be members of an Islamic State (IS) wolf pack planning to attack non-Muslim places of worship and assassinate certain persons should alert all Malaysians to the seriousness of the threats posed by terrorists in our midst.

To date, over 400 individuals have been arrested under terrorism charges in our country. For this, due credit must be given to Bukit Aman’s Counterterrorism Division, one of the best in Asia, under the leadership of Datuk Ayob Khan.
