Malaysian Police Dismantle Bangladeshi Militant Group, Arrest 36

News summary

Malaysian authorities have successfully dismantled a Bangladeshi-led militant group known as Gerakan Militan Radikal Bangladesh (GMRB), which spread extremist ideology among Bangladeshi workers in Malaysia through social media and online platforms. The Royal Malaysian Police arrested 36 individuals in coordinated operations since April, with some charged for terrorist activities and others awaiting further investigation or deportation. The group used social media for recruitment and fundraising, sending money internationally to Islamic State affiliates. Police officials emphasized the ongoing threat from other militant elements and the need to enhance technological capabilities to detect extremist activities early. The dismantling of GMRB reflects Malaysia's continued efforts to combat foreign militant threats and maintain national security, particularly among foreign labor communities. Authorities remain vigilant about potential new threats, both local and foreign, and expect further arrests as investigations continue.
