KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 28 — The Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA (GMI) today claimed that 12 people, including a Malaysian, were being held under the Internal Security Act (ISA) as opposed to the 10 announced by the Home Ministry yesterday.
It identified nine of the detained as Azzahari Murad (Malaysia); Aiman Al Dakkak (Syria); Mohamed Hozifa (Syria); Kutiba Al-Issa (Syria); Khalid Salem (Yemen); Luqman Abdul Salam (Nigeria); Hassan Barudi (Syria); Hussam Khalid (Jordan); and Abdul Alhi Bolajoko Uthman (Nigeria).
It has yet to determine the identities of the remaining three. GMI said the 12 were part of 50 detained in a security operation in Sungai Cincin, Gombak near here.
The ISA is a preventive security law that allows detention without trial.
Media reported that those detained were linked to the Nigerian underwear bomber who tried to detonate explosives aboard a US-bound flight last Christmas Day.
