Malaysia is to extradite nine foreigners arrested on terror charges last month. Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said the nine have links to international terror organisations and posed a very serious threat. <br/><br/>The suspects are being held under the controversial Internal Security Act , which allows for indefinite detention without trial. The nine foreigners were among 50 people arrested as they attended a religious class near the capital, Kuala Lumpur, on 21 January. <br/><br/>Most were released but the foreigners, along with one Malaysian suspect, were kept in detention. The authorities have not confirmed the identities of the detainees nor which terror group they are suspected of working with. <br/><br/>However, rights activists have said the men are from Jordan, Nigeria, Syria and Yemen.<br/>
