From the Manila Standard Today (Jul 8): Manila tipped off on 5 ‘terrorists’
Philippine authorities have been alerted by Malaysia about five alleged international terrorists linked to the Abu Sayyaf Group, police sources said on Monday.
The alleged terrorists went into hiding in Mindanao following the Malaysian crackdown on Islamic militants, a source said.
The five militants, according to Malaysia’s star Online were University Malaya lecturer Dr. Mahmud Ahmad, shop owner Mohd Najib Husen, former Selayang Municipal Council employee Muhammad Joraimee Awang Raimee, 39, Darul Islan Sabah members Mohd Amin Baco, 31 and Jeknal Adil, 30.
“We are coordinating our intelligence with the Philippines counter-terrorism unit and Interpol,” said Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Hamidi as quoted by the Star Online.
Malaysian authorities believed the terrorists might have sought sanctuary in one of ASG camps in Sulu and, also believed to be haven for the breakaway Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF).
Authorities were trying to ascertain if the militants could be in contact with terrorist Zulkifli Abdul Khir, also known as Marwan, the most wanted terrorist in the region, who was last sighted by Philippine troops in the company of BIFF rebels in Mindanao.
