Two Malaysians – identified as Mohd Faris Anuar, 20 and Muhamad Wanndy Muhamad, 25 – serving the Islamic State in Syria cast off their shyness to appear in a 30-second IS video posted on Facebook that shows footage of a headless body in a pool of blood.
Federal police Special Branch Counter-Terrorism unit assistant director SAC Ayub Khan Mydin Pitchay said on Wednesday the recording posted by a Facebook user under the name of Abu Hamzah Al Fateh showed an IS militant accusing the victim of being a Syrian government spy before beheading the man. He added that it was the first time a Malaysian had appeared in such a footage and police believe that Muhamad Wanndy was behind the video filming.
Ayub Khan said sixty-one Malaysians, comprising 51 men and 10 women have joined the IS. Another seventy-one, aged between 14 and 59, were detained before they could leave for Syria.
Malaysia is also not immune to this IS contagion and I expect the number to swell further. According to FMT today, police have identified more than 500 Facebook accounts
which are being used to recruit Malaysians to fight for the Islamic State.
Radical Islam has now become the primary threat in today’s world. And IS-inspired lone wolves shall rise up in even greater numbers and wage jihad on our cities. I wonder, is KL safe?
On Wednesday, St Johnstone ended Celtic’s 11-game unbeaten domestic run in the Scottish Premiership when Danny Swanson’s volley in the fifty-fourth minute won the game for the Perth-based team.
On that day too, Jordan Henderson (29) and Daniel Sturridge (51) scored for Liverpool in a 2-0 win over Burnley that kept the Reds in the hunt for Champions League qualification. Liverpool took their unbeaten run in the league to 12 games.
