Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Noor Rashid Ibrahim said the police believe that a good air transport network in this country has become a factor for terrorists to enter Malaysia and using it as a transit destination before going to other countries. — Picture by Shafwan Zaidon
“Airports in our country are open to all flights so it is easy for outsiders to enter here and I believe they take the opportunity to sneak in. In addition, they see that they may gather here without being disturbed. Commenting on the detention, Noor Rashid said the members of the group, who were detained at separate locations, were likely to have used e-mail and “underground mail” as a way to communicate to avoid detection.
