IS warns Malaysia, Indonesia of attacks over arrest of members

January 25, 2016 16:21

Islamic State terror group has threatened Malaysia and Indonesia with new attacks over the arrests of its members in these multi-ethnic but Muslim-

majority countries, days after the Indonesian capital was hit by bombings that killed eight people.

In a strongly defiant video posted in Makay language, the Malaysian-Indonesian unit of IS, called the Katibah Nusantara, warned that its numbers would only increase with the arrests of its members.

"If you catch us, we will only increase in number but if you let us be, we will be closer to our goal of bringing back the rule of the Khalifah (caliph).

"We will never bow down to the democratic system of governance as we will only follow Allah's rules," the video reportedly said according to The Star newspaper.

The video was reportedly posted on an IS website, signifying Katibah's increasing recognition within the terror group.
