Police said the six were arrested in five separate raids between December and January, on suspicion of planning attacks or having links to militant groups. The group included a 48-year-old Singaporean accused of planning to attack a building used by Freemasons in the state of Johor. Interpol had issued a warrant, known as a red notice, for his suspected involvement in criminal and militant activities, Fuzi said. Malaysia has arrested hundreds of people over the past few years for suspected links to militant groups. A grenade attack on a bar on the outskirts of the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, in June 2016 wounded eight people.
