Al-Qaeda: Which is which?
Yesterday, Wong Chun Wai and Lourdes Charles said one of the 12 members of the new terror group Darul Islam arrested by the Malaysian police was trained by Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda movement in Afghanistan.
In Bernama, Inspector-General of Police Mohd Bakri Omar was quoted saying "eleven suspected militants who were arrested over the past two months in Sabah and Selangor are not linked to Al-Qaeda".
He said they were members of a radical group known as "Darul Islam Sabah" who planned to create a "Daulah Islamiah Nusantara" (Islamic Archipelago) covering Indonesia, Malaysia and Southern Philippines.
The Star said "one of the 12", and the IGP said 11 -- is the twelve-minus-one trained by Al-Qaeda? Are the paper and the IGP confirming anything, or am I reading too much into it?
