The detention of three people under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) yesterday afternoon is believed to be related to a Malaysian terrorist shot dead in the Philippines last year.
Chomel Mohamad (right), the wife of detainee Yazid Sufaat, said she overheard one police officer, identified only as Insp Mani, question her husband about alleged terrorist Mohd Noor Fikrie Abd Kahar when their house was being searched by police."He replied, 'I don't know this guy! Seriously, I don't know'. And true enough, Fikri was mentioned inUtusan Malaysia this morning," Chomel said.
She was speaking to reporters at the Ampang magistrate's court today while waiting for her husband to be charged.
Yazid, along with his employee of six months, Hilmi Hafim, and a family friend, Halimah Hussein, yesterday became the first detainees to be held under the Sosma, which replaced the Internal Security Act in July last year.
They are being held on suspicion of terrorism-related offences, Inspector-General of Police Ismail Omar said yesterday.
