WOMEN'S INVOLVEMENT IN SUICIDE BOMBING WORRYING, SAYS BUKIT AMAN
PENDANG: The
involvement of women from the Southeast Asian region in suicide bombing has
become more alarming, said Bukit Aman's Special Branch Counter Terrorism
Division principal assistant director Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay.
“We are concerned
about the involvement of women as suicide bombers.
"It is a new
trend in Southeast Asian region where women are being used to carry out suicide
bomb attacks,” he told a press conference after delivering a talk at the
Security Awareness Seminar: Addressing Threats of Daesh, IS and Deviant
Teachings, here, today.
Ayob Khan said the
cooperation between Daesh or IS militant groups in the country, Indonesia and
southern Philippines was also worrying.
This is following the
arrest of two suspected Daesh members from Indonesia in May, who were believed
to have acted as facilitators to other Daesh members on transit in Sabah before
leaving for southern Philippines to carry out suicide missions, he said.
Meanwhile, he said 40
people including two women had been detained so far in the country, believed to
be involved in the militant activities since January.
"We are focused
on prevention, if there are preliminary information and enough evidence we will
make the arrest and we will not let them launch an attack," he said. --
