IGP: Security forces on careful hunt for enemies

Security forces have mounted a "careful hunt for enemies" following this morning's military assault on Kampung Tanduo in Lahad Datu, Sabah, said Inspector-General of Police Ismail Omar.

"The mopping-up and search operations cover an area of 4 sq km and I believe there are still enemies in the operations area," he told a press conference at Sahabat Felda Residence, Lahad Datu this evening.

"I have instructed the commanders on the ground to be very careful as I do not want to see any casualties. Therefore it is progressing slowly, on top of the terrain challenges."

Ismail said he is still not able to confirm the number of casualties.

He denied allegations reported in the Philippine media that bodies of the intruders had been desecrated.

"How can anyone make such an allegation without verifying the facts?" he said.

Asked whether any intruders could have escaped the operations zone, he replied: "Of course we hope they have not escaped, but the enemies could still be in the operations zone, so we are moving slowly."

It's now 'Ops Daulat'

The police chief only took one question from journalists before ending the press conference.

Malaysian security forces began the assault at 7am with an aerial assault using three F18 fighter jets, before ground troops moved in.

It is unclear if the operations covered neighbouring Tanjung Batu which locals had claimed the intruders had taken over and are allegedly holding villagers hostage.

The operation has been renamed 'Ops Daulat' (Operation Sovereignty) from 'Ops Sulu', which had been used for more than three weeks of the stand-off between security forces and the self-styled Royal Sulu Army from the defunct Sulu sultanate.

10,000 more Suluks have joined battle for Sabah, MNLF official claims

KUALA LUMPUR, March 5 – Thousands of Tausug, also known as the Suluks, have sailed to Sabah to help their fellow Filipino militants in eastern Sabah who have reportedly gone into hiding following the heavy assault by Malaysian forces since morning, The Philippine Inquirer reported today.

The claim, made by Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) Islamic council committee chairman Habib Hashim Mudjahab, contradicts reports elsewhere that security forces in both Malaysia and Philippines have blocked off entry points into the beleaguered Lahad Datu township, where the militants are holed up.

“We can no longer prevent our people. We are hurt and many of our people, even the non-combatants, are going to Sabah to help the sultanate,” Mudjahab was quoted as saying in the report.

But the Inquirer also reported denials of any such reinforcements being sent into Sabah from Lt. Gen, Rey Ardo, chief of the military’s Western Mindanao Command, and acting Governor Mujib Hataman of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).

Both men said they are not aware of any reinforcements sent to aid the self-proclaimed royal army of the Sulu Sultanate.

According to Mudjahab, however, at least 10,000 Tausugs from Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and Zamboanga had left Philippine waters from last night in small batches, entering Sabah through what they call the “southern backdoor” – a route that regular traders are familiar with.

The MNLF official said the naval blockade was of no use as those who know the route well would be able to slip into the east Malaysian state easily, and without raising any suspicion.

“It is about pride and honor, and our people are ready to sacrifice,” he added.

Earlier today, the MNLF chief Nur Misuari denied at a press conference any involvement in the Sulu standoff in Sabah, which is still raging on as Malaysian forces scour the length and breadth of Lahad Datu in search of the gunmen.
