According to Khalid, a female student was also arrested at the Kuala Lumpur International airport on April 4 on her way to Syria via Turkey.

“One male suspect was arrested on Apr 25 in Penang. He is aged 41, unemployed and has been actively promoting Daesh through his 15 Facebook accounts since 2014. He also planned to launch an attack on a Shia mosque in Penang. The two [other] men abetted in the activities of smuggling weapons from southern Thailand to be used by Daesh terrorists in Malaysia,” Malaysia’s Inspector-General of police Khalid Abu Bakar said, as quoted by the media outlet.
