According to a report by the Star Online, Bukit Aman Special Branch Counter Terrorism Division principal assistant director Ayub Khan identified them as 20-year-old Mohd Faris Anuar from Kedah and 26-year-old Muhamad Wandy Muhamad Jedi from Melaka.
In the 30-second video, uploaded onto Facebook on February 20, Faris is seen signalling to the camera with his index finger while Wandy is allegedly the person recording the video.
