It said: "The Malaysian Government confirms with either one or any of these places will be attacked by ISIL (Daesh). Please share and you might save lives.
"Guys please stay away from KLCC - Pavilion - Beach Club area - Jalan Alor and Petaling Street. We are the next target for bombing according to Special Branch." (sic). -- BERNAMA
