MANILA: Capturing Zulkifli Hir, the Malaysian terrorist bomb maker known as Marwan, was a “mission impossible,” an officer who was part of the Special Action Force (SAF) said. 

Several missions to capture Marwan since 2010 had been aborted, for one reason or another. On the weekend of Jan 24 to 25, the SAF finally got close enough.
