Don't Link Us To Terrorism, Sez Malaysia's Najib
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak Saturday said others should not be quick to point fingers at Malaysia whenever there were terrorist attacks or incidents of unrest in their countries. He said Malaysia had never been responsible for such incidences but in fact had played a positive role in helping bring stability to the region.On the involvement of Malaysians in terrorist activities abroad, Najib described it as most unfortunate. "It's very unfortunate that Malaysians like Dr Azahari Husin and Nordin M Top played leading roles in the Jemaah Islamiah terrorist organisation in Indonesia, but these are matters beyond our control," said Najib. On Nordin Mat Top, the right-hand man of Asia's most wanted terrorist, Dr Azahari Husin whose reign of terror ended after being killed in a shootout with Indonesian police in East Java on Nov 9, Najib said the fugitive was still believed to be in Indonesia but if he managed to escape to here the task of hunting him down would be Malaysia's responsibility. Earlier, Najib had witnessed a mass circumcision ceremony at the Sekolah Kebangsaan Wira near here and also gave away bicycle gifts to 267 pupils who excelled in the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) examination in the Pekan district. Mass circumcision... I'm imagining a Busby Berkeley choreography with lots of shiny knives... Posted by: Pappy 2005-11-20 |
