"The two are believed to have collaborated with the terrorists and we have taken them in for questioning," he said when contacted, here, on Friday.
He said police were investigating whether the two suspects had links with the ambush on security forces in Kampung Simunul, on March 2.
Asked about claims from the locals that many illegal immigrants were leaving Semporna, Mohd Firdaus said police would carry out investigations to ensure no terrorist escaped from Semporna. - Bernama
