US investigators in KL to question terror suspect
US investigators and prosecution officials have arrived in Malaysia to question a detained terror suspect over his alleged links to the September 11 attacks. The suspect is Malaysian Yazid Sufaat, who is alleged to have had connections with Zacarias Moussaoui. Yazid, a former army captain, will cooperate with the US interrogators, his lawyer, Saiful Izham Ramli, told reporters. "I was informed by the home ministry that US officials will interview Yazid on Monday. Yazid has requested that I be present during the questioning. He said he will cooperate with the US," said the lawyer.It's called cutting a deal. Yazid has been in held in Kemunting detention centre in northern Perak state since last December. He is alleged to have hosted Moussaoui during a visit to Malaysia a year before the attacks and to have provided him with a letter purportedly appointing him as US marketing agent for a Malaysian computer software company. Yazid's apartment was also allegedly used in early 2000 by two hijackers, Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, who were aboard the plane which crashed into the Pentagon. Posted by: Steve 2002-11-15 |
