Police in Malaysia have arrested two religious teachers suspected of being members of the militant Jemaah Islamiyah group. The two men were detained early Saturday in the town of Sandakan in east Malaysia's Sabah state, part of the island of Borneo. Their names and alleged activities have not yet been released. Western intelligence agencies say Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) has links to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist network and has been blamed for a series of plots and attacks across Southeast Asia.
I think the amusement value for this sort of thing has worn off for Mahathir's guys by now. If not for PAS, they'd probably have embarked on a real housecleaning. |
