Malaysian police have confirmed that a leaked police communiqué Whatsapp message notifying the public of the presence of suicide bombers in Kuala Lumpur and Sabah was indeed authentic.
Inspector-General of the Malaysian Police Squad, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar has confirmed this rumor to online news portal Malaysiakini, saying the police memo was indeed genuine and expressed great regret over the leak; saying that the police force wanted to keep the information from the public as to not incite worry or havoc among the public.
The memo that was spread widely throughout Malaysia through a chain Whatsapp message reportedly said that the Phillipine militant group Abu Sayyaf, and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) had 18 of their suicide bombers infiltrate Kuala Lumpur and Sabah- 10 in Kuala Lumpur, and 8 in Sabah. The initial note (not to be confused with the Whatsapp chain message), instructed police to increase patrols and intelligence surveillance to protect Malaysians from these religious militants.
Tan Sri Khalid said the police are keeping track of all possible threats and were taking measures to neutralize the suicide bombers and their mission to incite pain and havoc.
