Malaysian police have detained a Saudi journalist accused of insulting the Prophet Muhammad in a tweet.
Hamza Kashgari posted a controversial tweet on the prophet's birthday last week that sparked more than 30,000 responses and several death threats.
He was held on arriving at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Thursday, following a request from Interpol, officials said on Friday.
It is unclear if the newspaper columnist will be extradited.
