LAHAD DATU, March 13 — The security forces believe that the leader of the armed group who intruded into Lahad Datu, Azzimudie Kiram, is still entrenched at Kampung Tanjung Batu, 130 kilometres from Lahad Datu town.
Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib was certain that Azzimudie had never left the area.
“As the leader, he would not run away. We believe he is still with the group,” he said at a press conference together with the Army First Infantry Division
Chief, Maj-Gen Datuk Ahmad Zaki Mokhtar at the operations headquarters, Felda Sahabat 16, near here today.
Hamza said this belief was based on the strict security maintained by the security forces in the red zone of the ‘Ops Daulat’ area including sea route.
After nine days of ‘Ops Daulat’, the security forces had shot dead 56 enemies and 25 of the remains of the militant intruders had been taken out of the red zone. — Bernama
