Munira Mustaffa on Johor police post attack

06:27 Min

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has called for firm action, after two officers were killed in a police station attack in the outskirts of Johor Bahru in a place called Ulu Tiram. The assailant - with suspected links to militant group Jemaah Islamiyah - was shot dead at the scene. The suburb is no stranger to Jemaah Islamiyah. The founders of the group - Abdullah Sungkar and Abu Bakar Baasyir - moved there in 1993 after fleeing Indonesia. The two men were on the run to avoid imprisonment for espousing radical views. CNA spoke to Munira Mustaffa, Executive Director at security consultancy Chasseur Group.
