Two of Hong Kong’s top officials have warned of the threat posed by international terrorism as Muslim groups in the city express concern over leaflets circulating which bear a logo associated with the extremist Islamic State.
Speaking at a conference on crime yesterday, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying took the unusual step of highlighting recent attacks overseas, warning that Hong Kong – as an open, international city – should not take the threat of terrorism lightly.
His comments were echoed by Police Commissioner Andy Tsang Wai-hung and later police sources told the Sunday Morning Post they were “monitoring the situation closely” after a leaflet bearing an image associated with Islamic State was found to be circulating among Indonesian domestic helpers in the city.
