Terkini - Abraham Idrijani dakwa tentera sulu bunuh lapan tentera Malaysia di Lahad Datu semalam

Sebuah portal berita Filipina melaporkan bahawa jurucakap Kesultanan Sulu mendakwa bahawa tenteranya membunuh 8 askar Malaysia semalam  di Lahad Datu, Sabah.

ABS-CBN dipetik Abraham Idrijani sebagai berkata bahawa penentuan itu berlaku pada Jumaat lepas di kawasan pedalaman Felda Lahad Datu di mana pasukan 50-orang-orangnya menyerbu kira-kira 200 anggota tentera Malaysia dalam bidang yang terbuka.

Idjirani berkata kejadian itu tidak dilaporkan dalam media Malaysia supaya tidak bercanggah dengan tapisan keselamatan di Sabah yang diberikan oleh kerajaan Malaysia berikutan pencerobohan oleh tentera Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III awal tahun ini.

Tuntutan Idjirani telah bagaimanapun dinafikan oleh Ketua Pengarah ESSCOM Mohammad Mentek dan  pesuruhjaya polis negeri Hamza Taib.

Mentek menolak tuntutan itu sebagai tidak berasas, menyifatkannya sebagai tidak lebih daripada propaganda untuk mencipta ketakutan dan menggugat keharmonian.

Beliau berkata keselamatan yang diletakkan pada berjaga-jaga, kerana spekulasi bertiup kencang bahawa  pejuang Sulu telah merancang untuk pencerobohan kedua semasa cuti Hari Raya.

Sementara itu, Hamza berkata tiada pertempuran baru antara pasukan keselamatan dengan pengganas Sulu.

Berita asal
A Philippine news portal reported that a spokesman of the Sulu Sultanate claimed that its army killed 8 Malaysian soldiers yesterday in a fresh shoot-out in Lahad Datu, Sabah.

ABS-CBN quoted Abraham Idrijani as saying that the shootout took place last Friday in the hinterlands of Felda Lahad Datu where his 50-men troop ambushed some 200 Malaysian soldiers in an open field.

Idjirani said the incident was not reported in Malaysian media so as not to contradict the security clearance on Sabah given by the Malaysian government following the invasion by Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III’s forces earlier this year.

Idjirani’s claim was however denied by both Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCOM) director general Mohammad Mentek and state police commissioner Hamza Taib.

Mentek dismissed the claim as baseless, describing it as nothing more than propaganda to create fear and disharmony.

He added that security was put on high alert, as speculation was rife that Sulu fighters had been planning for a second intrusion during Hari Raya holidays.

Hamza meanwhile said there were no new clashes between security forces and Sulu terrorists.
