LAHAD DATU: The beaches of Tanduo shook amid heavy aerial and naval bombardment early last Tuesday as elite Malaysian and American commandos made amphibious landing to wipe out the Abu Sayyaf group holding the area.

The real-life action at the Tanduo beach in this Sabah’s east coast district was a military exercise that was part of the Tiger Strike 2017 joint exercise between Malaysian and US armed forces which ends today.
