'Revenge the likely motive'

KOTA BARU: Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the latest attack in Mabul in which a police corporal was killed was carried out by Sulu gunmen and revenge was the likely motive.

“They could have acted so be because our military commandos and police have succeeded in penetrating their stronghold to save a kidnapped Chinese national recently. But we will not yield to such attacks and will fight back to ensure the security of the region,” he said.
