United States and Australia warn about possible terror attack in Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Alor is a popular hawker street in Kuala Lumpur frequented by tourists and foreigners and the U.S. and Australian embassies have warned the authorities about a possible terror attack at a popular hawker street in the city.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 25 September 2015.

Taking cognizance of the warnings, the Malaysian police have detained three men, including two foreigners, for questioning. They are a Malaysian, an Indonesian and a Syrian, aged between 30 and 51 years. They were picked as part of an ongoing counter terrorism operation.
One of them often visited Yemen and had entered Malaysia a few days ago. Investigation is on to determine if they are involved in any plans to launch attacks in Malaysia.
In view of the threat, police have intensified security in popular public places and other strategic locations.
The US had warned people to avoid Alor Street which is located in a shopping belt in the city center and its immediate surrounding areas. Terrorist organizations had, in the past, planned attacks to coincide with significant dates.
