Malaysian security forces have started building a profile of an armed group from "southern
Eastern Sabah
Security Command director general Datuk Mohamad Mantek said they want to see
how the gunmen move before striking, Malaysia 's The Star Online reported
Monday evening.
He said their
findings so far indicate the need for cooperation from local residents in
alerting authorities as regards suspicious persons.
"That is why we in Esscom need feedback from local communities about any suspicious activities in their areas," he said at a dialogue with the local community.
Mohamad said their findings so far indicate the gunmen wouldn't abduct their
targets immediately but would "hide" among villagers at various
islands and wait until “spotters” gave them the green light to proceed.
Such profiling would help greatly in preventing such crimes in the future,
Mohamad added.
Last April 2, gunmen abducted a Filipina resort worker and a Chinese tourist
from a floating resort. On May 6, gunmen abducted a Chinese from a fish farm in
Lahad Datu.
