| [Gulf Today] Malaysia has asked the Philippines to extradite two Abu Sayyaf militants linked to the abduction of two Malaysians, one of whom was recently beheaded in Mindanao. Tan Shri Khalid Abubakar, chief of the Malaysian federal police, said that Kuala Lumpur sought the extradition of the two militants identified as Kadaffy Muktadil alias Khadaffy Kamsa and Saddam Jailani who were recently arrested in the Philippines, so they could be tried before the Malaysian courts. Abubakar said, "Police have informed the Philippine authorities that we want to have the two suspects extradited here. This was communicated verbally soon after we were informed of their arrest." A senior Philippine official said his government would honor the Malaysian request. |
