These three groups are considered as threatening to IS activities,” Mr. Abu Bakar said at a news conference. Mr. Abu Bakar said police also arrested 13 others, including two low-ranking police officers, in a counter-terrorism crackdown in the aftermath of the grenade attack. Police are hunting for two more people believed to have been directly involved in the nightclub attack, he added. Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said two men have been arrested in connection to the attack, and that they received direct instructions from Muhammad Wanndy Mohamed Jedi, a known Malaysian IS fighter. This is believed to be the first successful attempt in the country by the militant group.
