[KiniNews] The man who killed two police officers and injured another during an early morning attack at the Ulu Tiram police station in Johor has been identified as having a link to the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) terror group, according to Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain.

Police suspected the 22-year-old man had pre-planned and launched the attack to get his hands on firearms kept at the station, but police have yet to ascertain the suspect's agenda behind the plan.

Razarudin said the suspect’s five family members had been detained during a raid at their house.

He added that he had also instructed the Special Branch to identify all JI members in Johor and pick them up for investigation.
