All nine are believed to be trying to spread their ideology and movement.
KUALA LUMPUR: Nine suspected terrorists were detained by Bukit Aman counter-terrorism division today at undisclosed locations in Selangor and Kedah.
According to the Inspector General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar all nine detained were believed to be involved in international terrorism syndicate. However he did not provide further details on the group.
In a press statement, the IGP said that all those arrested were between 22 and 55 years old. He added that some of the detained individuals had conducted secret meetings and discussions at several places in Malaysia.
“We believe that these nine people are connected to international terrorism syndicate. They were all detained at two separate locations in Kedah and Selangor,”
“Some of them have already been in secret discussions and they have been talking about their ideologies and how to spread their movement in this country,” Khalid said.
The last time a Malaysian was arrested and charged under the SOSMA was former army captain Yazid Sufaat who was detained by police in February 2013.
The ex-biochemist student was charged with inciting terrorist act that could have involved violence in Syria.
Yazid had earlier been jailed for seven years for allegedly aiding two of the perpetrators of the Sept 11 attacks in the United States.
