Brunei arrests 20 cultists (07/15/2001)
Brunei said it has arrested 20 people, including foreigners, believed
to be members of a shadowy Muslim cult which staged a daring arms
heist in neighbouring Malaysia early this month.
The detainees were being held under internal security laws for
their suspected involvement with the Malaysian-based Al-Ma'unah
cult, the Internal Security Department said in a statement issued
on Thursday but seen yesterday.
The statement did not say when the 20 were arrested or how many
of those detained were Brunei citizens and how many were foreigners.
