Malaysian’s wife sued

From the Mindanao Times (Dec 19): Malaysian’s wife sued

The Davao City Police Office formally filed a case Tuesday afternoon against the wife of an alleged terrorist who was gunned down by police last Friday night. Anabelle Nieva Lee, who hails from Sorsogon, was endorsed for inquest procedure before the City Prosecution Office for violating Republic Act 8294 or “Illegal Possession of Explosives.” Lee was arrested after his husband, Mohd Noor Fikrie Bin Abd Kahar, a Malaysian national and suspected member of the Jemaah Islamiyah, was killed by operatives after he threatened to trigger the bomb inside his backpack at around 11:30 p.m. of Dec. 14.

The operatives recovered cellphones and a 60mm mortar, that was disarmed through water disruption by the combined explosives and ordnance teams of the DCPO and Davao Regional Police Office. Based on earlier reports, operatives received an intelligence report from an informant that the couple checked in at Sampaguita Inn at around 7 p.m. of Dec. 14. Police were told that the slain suspect had an improvised explosive device in his possession which will be used to sow terror in the city. While at the lobby, Lee was accosted by city police director Sr. Supt. Ronald dela Rosa while her husband was collared by other operatives. That’s when the suspect threatened to blow up everybody. “If you arrest or shoot me I have a bomb, I will explode it,” the suspect told police.

The crowd scampered for safety while suspects rushed out of the hotel, clutching each other while the alleged terror suspect raised one hand to show police that he had his finger on the cell phone button that will arm the bomb. Lee had the backpack with her the whole time. Dela Rosa ordered snipers to neutralize the suspect but they couldn’t get a clear shot because of the thick crowd. Her husband wrested the backpack from her and they both ran toward People’s Park but was cornered near the Apo View Hotel where he was fatally shot by the pursuing members of the SWAT team.
