KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian authorities successfully secured the return and rehabilitation of 13 young Malaysians linked to the Al-Ghuraba cell of Jemaah Islamiah (JI) following their detention in Pakistan in 2003.
Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, recalling the incident, said JI’s top leadership had been sending the children of its members overseas since the mid-1990s to ensure the group’s continuity.
