Malaysia Students Jailed and Links to Alleged Militants
A look at the five Malaysian students jailed for alleged militancy, and their ties to relatives already in custody. These students, I believe, are the ones picked up at the "finishing school" in Pakistan and sent home. Note their fine family backrounds: - Mohamad Ikhwan Abdullah, 19. His father, Abdullah Daud, a former university lecturer, told a human rights commission inquiry last year he is a committed member of Jemaah Islamiyah. Abdullah Daud has been detained since 2001. - Muhammad Radzi Abdul Razak, 19. His father, Abdul Razak Baharudin, a teacher, has been detained since 2001. - Eddy Erman Shahime, 19. His father has been detained since 2001 or early 2002, authorities say, but his name wasnât immediately known. - Mohamad Akil Abdul Raof, 21. His brother has been detained since 2001, authorities say. The brotherâs name wasnât immediately known. - Abi Dzar Jaafar, 18. Believed to have no relatives in custody. Either heâs the first in the family or his relatives are smarter than average. Posted by: Steve 2003-12-16 |
