KUALA LUMPUR—Malaysia’s open-border policy has long helped lend it notoriety as a way station for conspirators to plot terror attacks abroad.
Now, many people worry that two major terror-linked plots on Malaysia’s own soil show that the Muslim-majority nation is increasingly becoming a host to other people’s deadly conflicts.
The plots were the February killing of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un’s half brother with VX nerve agent, which police blame on a North Korean-led hit team, and an alleged Islamic State-linked attempt to attack Saudi King Salman’s visiting delegation last week with a car bomb. They followed Islamic State’s first successful attack in Malaysia last year and dozens of terror-related arrests in 2016.
