Three foreigners arrested, fake firearms seized in Segambut raid

KUALA LUMPUR: Police arrested three foreigners and seized hundreds of counterfeit firearms, including Walther P99 pistols, M4 Carbines, and Colt AR-15s, during a raid on a terrace house in Segambut this afternoon. Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order Department Wildlife Crime Bureau/Special Investigation Intelligence deputy director SAC Zairulnizam Mohd Zainuddin confirmed the arrests, stating that the suspects, aged between 35 and 45, included one woman. Simultaneous raids were also conducted in Selangor and Johor. 'Police also seized fake Heckler and Koch MP5 rifles, CZ, Glock 17, Sand Viper, and Browning pistols,' he told reporters at the scene. Additionally, ball bearing crossbows and spear guns were confiscated. The counterfeit firearms were reportedly stored at the premises for repackaging before being sold openly on social media platforms. Authorities are still determining the market value and exact quantity of the seized items. The suspects will be investigated under Section 36 of the Arms Act 1960, as well as Sections 6(1)(c) and 39(b) of the Immigration Act 1959/63. Zairulnizam urged social media administrators to monitor sales activities on their platforms, warning that police would collaborate with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to take strict action against illegal sales.

Pahalgam attacker Thoker was once a teacher, regular at militants' funerals before moving to Pakistan

Sources in the security establishment told ThePrint that Thoker, a native of Guri village in Bijbehara subdivision of Anantnag district, comes from a land-owning family. One of three siblings, he completed his post-graduation and started working in Anantnag as a teacher. New Delhi: A postgraduate who worked as a teacher, Adil Hussain Thoker who J&K police say was part of the group of terrorists that executed the Pahalgam attack, regularly attended funerals of suspected militants killed in encounters with security forces. Thoker's alleged radicalisation began during his time in college. It was also during this time that he began regularly attending religious congregations and funerals of suspected militants killed in encounters with security forces. 'This began way before he left for Pakistan. At that time no one suspected anything since a lot of people would attend funerals of militants. Suspicion arose when he disappeared in 2018,' a second source said. In 2018, Thoker is believed to have travelled to Pakistan. 'Intelligence suggests he was in touch with terror outfits already and went to Pakistan to receive training. He and the other terrorists entered Kashmir late last year, together. We suspect they were hiding in various areas including Poonch-Rajouri, Doda Kishtwar, among others,' said a third source. Local intelligence had hinted at Thoker's presence in the area days before the attack in Pahalgam, it is learnt. There were also intelligence inputs about the possible presence of operatives of Pakistan-based terror outfits in the Kashmir valley who were trying to gather information on tourists and hotels in Pahalgam. On Tuesday, at least four terrorists—armed with AK-47s, M4 Carbines and body cameras—singled out men on the basis of their religion and shot them at close range. At least 25 Indian nationals and a Nepalese citizen were killed in the attack. ThePrint earlier reported on how the attack unfolded and how a preliminary investigation suggests that the attackers may have been sharing intelligence with their Pakistan-based handlers in real time.
