LAHAD DATU - Malaysian police detained two men today when they were coming out from Tanjung Labian, a village adjacent to Kampung Tanduo, a village adjacent to Kampung Tanduo, where Malaysian troops stormed the camp of an armed Filipino group on Tuesday.
Malaysian troops backed by fighter jets stormed the camp of an armed Filipino group on Tuesday, trying to end a standoff on Borneo island after violence that killed at least 27 people and sparked fears of broader insecurity in the resource-rich region.
Jets bombed the area in Malaysia's eastern Sabah state for more than 30 minutes before hundreds of ground troops moved in to search for about 200 Filipinos believed to be hiding near a coastal palm-oil plantation, Malaysian officials said.
