KUANTAN – Felda today clarified that one of the two
Malaysians arrested in Lebanon for alleged links to the al-Qaeda terrorist
organisation was the son of a staff and not of a settler.
Its chairman, Tan Sri Mohd Isa Samad, said Mohammed Razin Shaaban, 21, was
the son of a Felda employee and had studied at the Felda Foundation College in
Trolak, Perak.
"He studied there for only 10 months but did not complete his studies. His
father informed us that Mohammed Razin got a job with the Farmers Organisation
Authority (LPP) in Melaka and left the college," he told reporters after
launching the "Jelajah Transformasi Komuniti" (Community Transformation Tour)
programme in Felda Bukit Goh, here.
It was reported that Mohammed Razin and Rafik Mohd Ariffin, 28, suspected
to have been trained as suicide bombers, were detained by army intelligence in
Lebanon over suspected links to al-Qaeda.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman had said that the duo were brought
to the military court in Beirut on Oct 25.
On the trial, Mohd Isa said: "We will wait for the outcome of the trial and
see how we can assist."
