Police are searching along eastern Malaysia's border with Indonesia for two fugitives believed to have masterminded this month's Bali bombings, a news report said Wednesday. Malaysians Azahari Husin and Noordin Mohamad Top are wanted for a series of attacks in Indonesia, including the Oct. 1 blasts at three Bali restaurants that killed 23 people, including three bombers, and injured more than 100. "We are on the lookout for Azahari Husin and Noordin Mohamad Top ... we are coordinating with the Indonesians," Sabah police commissioner Mangsor Ismail was quoted as saying by The Star newspaper.
Authorities are focusing their hunt for Azahari and Noordin - alleged leaders of Southeast Asian terror group Jamaah Islamiyah - along the border in eastern Sabah state on Borneo island, which Malaysia shares with Indonesia and Brunei. |
