Assassinate PM claim: They were desires but no plan for execution, says IGP

Inspector-general of police Abdul Hamid Bador confirmed that Islamic State affiliates had early last year threatened to assassinate government leaders and launch attacks on the Genting Highlands casino in Pahang and breweries in the Klang Valley.

However, Hamid stressed that such threats were a common desire by pro-Islamic State affiliates and that there were no signs they planned to actually carry out the attacks.
