France has issued a travel warning to its citizens to be
“vigilant” in a few countries including Malaysia through their Ministry of
Foreign Affairs website.
The website mentioned that with “the intervention of the international coalition against Daech (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant or ISIL) and the increased kidnappings and hostile acts against the nationals of coalition countries, citizens of France residing in or passing through Malaysia are urged to increase their vigilance.
It also urged its citizens to inform the French consulate if they are not already registered as French outside of France.
The warning comes just after French tourist Herve Gourdel, 55, was beheaded in Algeria on Wednesday.

The murder came after France’s rejection of the group’s
24-hour ultimatum to halt its air raids in Iraq which was initiated by US.
The warning on the website could also be related to reports that Malaysians were among those who travelled to Syria to fight alongside the terrorists groups.
