Case details held back due to unconfirmed sensitive elements

KUALA LUMPUR: Unconfirmed sensitive elements related to the Hamas-linked Palestinian abduction were among reasons police did not reveal details to the public.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Azmi Abu Kassim said safety issues were also the reason why certain details were held back.

“If there were things we could have revealed, we would have done so,” he told a press conference after officiating the Safety Point Rapid KL Pilot Project at Kampung Batu Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station here today.



On the police contacting NST group editor, Farrah Naz Karim following the exposé on Mossad’s operations, Azmi said it was a normal procedure.

He said Farrah was summoned to the Dang Wangi police headquarter today only to assist with police investigations.

“We are not investigating the editor, but only to assist our probe,” he said

On Monday, NST had exposed that a Mossad operation planned to abduct two high-value Palestinians believed to be linked to Hamas at Jalan Yap Kuan Seng last month.



During the Sept 28 incident, a group of locals including a woman had acted as Israeli operatives to abduct the two Palestinians who are based in Malaysia.

The operatives only managed to capture one of the Palestinians as the other escaped and immediately lodged a police report.

Quick action of the police led to the discovery of where the agents had went and rescued the victims.
