Malaysian media has reported that the Police in its country is on the hunt for a man claiming to be the commander-in-chief of the now defunct Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) terror organization.
According to reports the man has also threatened to shoot Malaysia’s Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador.
The suspect also claimed that he will attack the Bukit Aman police headquarters and the Defence Ministry.
Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Huzir Mohamed said the suspect was found to have sent the threats via email to the media. In the email he had also threatened to attack Sri Lanka.
The police have opened two investigation papers under Section 507 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act (AKM) 1998.
“The suspect is the same individual who was reported to have made an insulting statement against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah), who was previously investigated under Section 4 (1) of the Sedition Act 1948,” he said during a special press conference in Bukit Aman.
Huzir said that it was suspected that the man was not mentally fit, but the police would still investigate the case.
Yesterday, Harian Metro reported that the man had sent the threats via emails, and claimed he was the commander of the second version of the now defunct Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) 2.0.
