Army General Zulkifli Zainal Abidin opinied that armed intruders in Sabah have shown combat experience and adeptness in insurgency tactics.
"From our intelligence and observation, they have combat experience and their insurgency guerilla tactics are quite good, I would say," he said.
He said that the group has positioned snipers in one area with a large public space. He did not name the area.
"They know we are not able to go in without casualties because of the open area," he told a press conference in Felda Sahabat Residence, Lahad Datu.
Today was the first ever joint press conference by the police and army, more than three weeks after the first standoff in Kampung Tandou, some 15km away from here.
The press conference was held following another landing by intruders in Kunak and an ambush on a police team in Sempoerna.
It is still unconfirmed if the two incidents are related to armed intruders loyal to the Sulu Sultanate.
