IGP: NO INFORMATION ON CLAIMS NOORDIN MAT TOP RECEIVES FUND

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- Police have not received any information
on purported funds from several countries, including Malaysia, being channelled
to wanted man Noordin Mat Top, Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan said.

"We are waiting from our counterparts in Indonesia if there are any
information on the matter," he told a news conference after attending the
completion of training for probationary inspectors here Saturday.

He was asked to comment on claims by an Indonesian crime analyst that
Noordin obtained money to fund his terror activities from several neighbouring
countries including Malaysia.

Musa also said that the Malaysian police would cooperate fully with their
Indonesian counterparts in exchanging information about Nordin's whereabouts.

He also said that police had not received any information on the purported
presence of the new Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam leader, Selvarasa
Pathmanathan, in the country.

"We know that he has been moving about using forged passports," he said,
adding that there was no confirmation whether the man said to be detained in
Malaysia was indeed Selvarasa.
