Four men have been arrested in Semporna on suspicion of being militants, but there is as yet no indication whether they have links to the self-styled Royal Sulu Army.
The arrest took place at a house near the Sri Wangsa army camp at Jalan Lapangan Terbang, about 3km from Semporna town.
According to a police officer, the operation was conducted by a strike team from the Sabah police headquarters after receiving a tip-off from the public.
The officer told journalists that the men are suspected to be illegal immigrants from Philippines.
One of the men was also alleged to possess drugs.
