Title: Police Detain 6 More Under the ISA

Kota Kinabalu, Nov 6 (Bernama) 

Police have detained six more people under the Internal Security Act (ISA),
the Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Noor confirmed today.

He declined to give details or identify them, merely saying they are
Malaysian citizens. 

The six, picked up at various location in peninsular Malaysia, are believed
to be involved in deviationist religous teachings detrimental to national
security. 

Abdul Rahim was approached by reporters at the airport here on the earlier
arrest, also under the ISA, of two persons in Kedah and Pulau Pinang last
Tuesday. 

They have been identified as Abdullah hassan, 80, a former PAS supporter in
Pendang, Kedah and Paharuddin Mustapa, 73, a former Parti Rakyat Malaysia
member in Bukit Mertajam. 

This brings to eight the number of people detained this week under the ISA
which allows for detention without trial. 

The IGP later left for Kuala Lumpur after a two-day visit here.
