Malaysia may seek sultan extradition

Malaysia's foreign minister has said the country may seek the extradition of a self-styled Philippine sultan whose followers launched a deadly incursion into eastern Malaysia.

Malaysian forces are currently hunting for the Islamic militants in a remote region of Borneo island where they landed last month to assert a long-dormant territorial claim in what has become Malaysia's worst security crisis in years.

    I do not believe that the Government will talk, as Indonesia is well known for their aggressive expansion policy. This land had though been leased out to the Brits by the sultanate, and the brits illegally gave it to Malaysia. The ownership of this land cannot be disputed, it is clear. It is a case for the UN, if this suit is not already filed with the UN. But the UN probably does not give a hoot about it.
