Malaysia on Tuesday said that seven militants arrested late last month were planning an attack on "Arab royalties" visiting its capital, Kuala Lumpur.
According to Reuters, the arrests were made just days before the state visit of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, to Malaysia on February 26th.
"They were planning to attack Arab royalties during their visit to Kuala Lumpur. We got them in the nick of time," Police Inspector-General, Khalid Abu Bakar, told reporters.
On Sunday, Malaysia said it had arrested one Malaysian and six foreigners - one Indonesian, four Yemenis and one East Asian - between February 21st and 26th for suspected links to militant groups, including Daesh, said Reuters.
