Lahad Datu Intrusion Trial

KOTA KINABALU: Intruders kept out of sight for nearly three weeks after a shootout with security forces in Tanduo last year but soldiers managed to track down some of them in a neighbouring village.

Major Mohd Afandi Yusuf, who is a soldier from the 3rd battalion Royal Malay Regiment based at the Fifth Infantry Brigade in Lok Kawi, said he and his team entered Tanjung La­­bian, about 4km away from Kam­pung Tanduo, for a mopping up operation on March 6 last year and killed one of the intruders on March 20.
