KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 (Bernama) -- Malaysia should not be regarded as a
terrorist country after two Malaysians were detained in Lebanon on
suspicion of having links with the AL-Qaeda group, said Defence Minister
Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said, on the other hand, Malaysia endeavoured to curb such activities from spreading in the country.
"The Malaysian Armed Forces, police and National Security Council
cooperate in monitoring terrorist activity," he told Bernama after
taking part in the me 'Dalam Radar' programme on Bernama's Radio24
station at Wisma Bernama, Tuesday.
He was asked to comment on the detention of Razif Mohamad Ariffin, 28,
and Mohamad Razin Shahar Mustapha Kamal, 21, at a hotel in Beirut on Oct
18 after they were suspected to have been trained as suicide bombers
and had links with Al-Qaeda.
Both the youths will be represented by four counsel during re-mention of
their cases at Lebanon's Military Tribunal in Beirut, Wednesday.
Meanwhile, when answering a question from a caller on the progamme, he
said biological warfare would be a new threat to Malaysia.
As such, he said Malaysia planned to draw up a law as preparation in the event biological warfare took place in the future.
"Biological warfare is a new war which can happen not only in Malaysia but also in the Asean region," he added.
