KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian authorities have identified two Malaysians in a video by the Islamic State of a beheading that is believed to have taken place in Syria.

Mohd Faris Anuar and Muhamad Wanndy Muhammad Jedi, aged 20 and 25 respectively, were identified as the men involved in the beheading of a Syrian man in a video posted to Facebook on February 22, said Ayub Khan Mydin, the police counter-terrorism division's deputy chief.

Wanndy travelled with his wife Nor Mahmudah Ahmad to Syria on January 26, while Faris went last September, said Ayub Khan.

Malaysia is expected to tighten anti-terror laws used to curb militant activities when parliament resumes this month.

The country has arrested 40 citizens suspected of militancy and identified 39 Malaysians already in Syria and Iraq.

Malaysian militants have used Facebook and other social media sites to lure recruits, attracting thousands of followers online.
