MALAYSIA has arrested six foreigners and one Malaysian for suspected links to militant groups including the Islamic State (IS), the police chief said on Sunday.

The South-east Asian nation has been on high alert since suicide bombers and gunmen linked to IS launched multiple attacks in Jakarta, the capital of neighbouring Indonesia, in January 2016.
