The woman was detained earlier this morning in Kuala Lumpur.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zahid Hamidi said he believe that there are more than ten members of the group.
"The authorities are working to track each and everyone of them down," he said.
Zahid added initial investigation revealed that the group may have links with militant Islamic groups such as the al-Qaeda and Jemaah Islamiyah.
