The 2024 Ulu Tiram police station attack was an attack that occurred on 17 May 2024 on the Ulu Tiram police station in Johor, Malaysia.[2] Two police officers were killed while one was left injured. The sole attacker identified as Radin Luqman Radin Imran was fatally shot thereafter.[1] Malaysian authorities initially identified the deceased suspect as a member of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) due to his father's connection with the terrorist group, although it was later reported that he had no involvement with JI and had acted alone.[3][4][5]
The attacker was Radin Luqman. His father and brother are reported to be ISIS supporters.
Malaysia's Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said in a statement "Our suspicions that Radin father is a Jemaah Islamiyah member is confirmed. That is already in our data and records. The family isolated themselves from others, with the children (including the deceased attacker) not enrolled in any school. They are rooted in radical beliefs and ideologies".
