KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 (Xinhua) -- Fifteen suspected members of the Islamic State (IS) group, including a police officer, have been arrested across the country, Malaysian authorities said Thursday.
The move came shortly after deadly bomb attacks on Tuesday in Brussels that killed at least 31 people and injured about 300 others.
The suspects, aged between 22 and 49 years old and including 11 men and 4 women, were arrested in a series of raids earlier this week in Kuala Lumpur and several states in the country, according to a police statement.
Among them were a police officer and an airplane technician, police said.
