The 20-year old Malaysian man old Al Muhd Alfie Kqhyriel was caught smuggling weapons and ammunition that were concealed in a microwave oven and his shoes to avoid detection at Jinnah International Airport in Pakistan.

An official with Thailand’s military intelligence unit said that the man who is believed to have links with the Islamic State (IS) militant group, had no intention to remain in Bangkok for any possible attack.

As for the IS links, there are no indications whether this is accurate or not.
