Dozens ‘linked’ to Sulu gunmen held for questioning - The Star Online Malaysia

LAHAD DATU: Dozens of suspected sympathisers of the so called Sulu gunmen have been detained for questioning by police over the past fortnight.

They included relatives of the Sulu armed group's leader Raja Muda Azizmudie Kiram, a few uniformed personnel and a local politician here.

Police are believed to be particularly interested in questioning a very close relative of Azzimudie who had played an advisory role to the Sulu group, and has gone into hiding either here or in Semporna.
However, no official confirmation was available on the number of arrests so far and their identities as police try to establish the links of the Sulu armed group to local families and sympathisers.
