PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is not ruling out the possibility that Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom) personnel may have leaked vital information to cross-border kidnappers, allowing them to launch attacks in the waters off Sabah.

“I am not accusing anyone but it’s not impossible. I am concerned that the enemies are getting information on Esscom operations and using it to carry out kidnap-for-ransom against our citizens,” said the Depu­ty Prime Minister.
