KUALA LUMPUR (APP) – Six men, including an Indonesian suspected to be an arms expert, were charged on Thursday for allegedly conspiring to plot terror attacks in Malaysia.
The men, aged between 25 and 48, were charged with being “party to a conspiracy to promote terror in Malaysia”, according to court documents.
“They were handcuffed and brought to court under heavy security,” lawyer Shariff Mat said after the men, who include five Malaysians, appeared at a sessions court in the northern state of Kedah.
Shariff said no plea was recorded and they were expected to appear in court on May 31, with the case to be transferred to the high court.
