History Asia - Al-Maunah : The Malaysian Arms Heist part 4/4

It was Malaysia's largest military weapon heist that turned into a hostage crisis and a 5-day standoff with the police and army.

On July 2nd 2000, 15 men disguised as high-ranking army officers stole over 100 military-grade weapons and thousands of ammunition rounds from two Malaysian army camps. Police suspected the weapons were for regional terrorist groups. But not far from the crime scenes, Sauk villagers reported gunfire behind their school.

Two Special Branch police officers were sent to investigate but ended up as hostages instead. In the unfolding crisis, more hostages were taken, two of them tortured and murdered.

Malaysian police and army intelligence revealed that Al-Ma'unah, an Islamic deviationist cult, were responsible for the heist and hostages. Over an arduous 5-days, psychological warfare was used to try to persuade the cult to surrender peacefully. But an ultimatum from Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to end the hostage crisis by Day 5, leads to a police-army confrontation with Mohamad Amin, leader of Al-Ma'unah.

With two hostages already dead, it was up to police commando Abdul Razak bin Mohd Yusof and Army Field Commander Zaini Mohamad Said to complete their rescue and recovery mission with no further casualties.

Assalamualiakum. Correct me if Im wrong, tapi betul ke sebenarnya Razak from commando 69 had the situation under control. Amin the leader pun nak menyerahkan diri, tapi si general Zaini tu nak tunjuk hebat so dia pun masuk menyerang, akhirnya ada juga nyawa yang terkorban.

@nunchaks700 salam tau mane sumber ni...salah seorang anggota keselamtn@pengikut al-maunah pada ketika itu? Kalau tak silap ada buku zabidi muhamad-kebenaran yang sebenar,ada menceritakan kisah sebenar,zabidi salah seorang peguam yang membela Al -maunah dulu..maaf kalau silap

zaini tunjuk hero.... spatutnye amin tembak je zaini 2.. 

[sharada3548]

@nunchaks700 Memang Razak dah neutral kan threat tapi general Zaini turn against the tide yang hampir meragut nyawa Abdul Razak ni. Alasannya simple je, Maruah ATM dah tercemar sebab sistem kawalan pengkalan mereka gagal. He actually ordered the attack on Amin's group.

@lavaboyz1 Kaabah itu hanya kiblat saja....utk ummat islam sembahyang. bukan bermakna kami sembah batu tue.. tuhan sekalian alam ALLAH swt wujud tidak bertempat... DIA ada di dalam hati setiap yg menyembah-Nya.. ckp tue kalau boleh siasat la lebih terperinci, jgn main ckp jaa.. kaabah itu cuma satu bangunan sahaja yg didirikan oleh nabi ibrahim as dan anaknya nabi ismail as sbg tempat utk sembah ALLAH... spt masjid2 lain juga... kalau kau larang komen maki hamun so kau jgn hina islam pulak..

[lavaboyz1]

@MEMORITERINDAH

Wei,yg korang semua pegi menunaikan Haji tu, ko orang pegi sembah kat Kaabah kat makkah tu kenape? Bukan ke Kaabah tu diperbuat oleh batu jugak. Jangan nak dirikan benang yg basah lah kawan. Please face the facts, Dalam Kaabah tu pulak ada 3 tiang. So ? yg korang pegi sembah Batu dan tiang tu apasal lak? Come on lah, video nih bukan opportunity utk korang nak maki hamun meliar-liar lah. Komen tu jaga sikit. Banyak yg tengok okay?
