Two persons, Faizal Khan bin Gulam Sarwar, 34, and Mohd Agus bin Ahmad Selani, 34, among the 15 arrested by the ISD in Dec 2001 were released on 6 Jan 2002. They have been served with Restriction Orders under Section 8(1)(b) of the ISA with conditions prohibiting them to have any contact with any terrorist organisation, to prevent them from deeper and further involvement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). The Restriction Order, which is for a period of two years, will be reviewed annually.

Investigations disclose that they were not members of the clandestine organisation, "Jemaah Islamiyah". However, they donated funds they had collected to the MILF purportedly for its welfare organisations. Mohd Agus was found to have visited the training camp of the MILF in Mindanao in 1997 and 1999. Faizal visited the MILF camp in 1999. They were not known to have undergone any training at the terrorist camp.
