BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, April 7 (Xinhua) -- The Brunei Internal Security Department, in cooperation with other intelligence and enforcement agencies, detained and deported four foreign nationals for their involvement in extremism and terrorism-linked activities, local media reported Friday, quoting a government statement.
The action is part of the continuous efforts of the government to ensure that the country is free from any threat against the peace, harmony and security of the nation, the department said in the statement.
Following an operation conducted in February 2017, four Indonesian nationals were detained under Brunei's Internal Security Act, and subsequently, all four were deported and blacklisted from reentering Brunei due to their predisposition towards the ideology of militant group -- Islamic State (IS).
Internal Security Department's investigations revealed that two of the suspects were in possession of propaganda materials related to IS and all four suspects admitted to downloading as well as sharing IS online videos and other materials available on the Internet.
