He was also one of the terrorists responsible for the attack on Movida nightclub in Puchong last June.
The list also includes other Malaysians, Yazid Sufaat and Zulkifli Hir, who was believed to have been killed by security forces from the Philippines in 2015.
The New Straits Times also reported that Wanndy is now aware that he has been sanctioned by the United States authorities. He has made fun of the sanction, but said he would be more careful about his movements and communications from now on.
