'12 held' in terror raid in Malaysia
Malaysian police have arrested 12 men belonging to a new radical Indonesian group suspected of planning attacks on several neighbouring countries, it was reported today.
The Star newspaper said the 12, at least two of them Malaysians, worked for the previously-unknown group called Darul Islam and described the arrests as Malaysian police’s biggest success against terrorism since the crackdown five years ago on Kampulan Militan Malaysia, or KMM, a home-grown Islamic extremist group.
