KL vow to be firm on fugitive terror suspects: Police have stepped up vigilance at Malaysia's entry points to prevent two of Asia's most wanted terror suspects from returning to their home country, an official said on Thursday. Malaysians Azahari bin Husin and Noordin Mohammed Top - both alleged leaders of the al- Qaeda-linked terror network Jamaah Islamiyah - are the target of a massive manhunt in neighboring Indonesia following their narrow escape from police in the west Javanese city of Bandung on Oct. 31. Latest intelligence shows both men remain in Java, said Yusoff Abdul Rahman, director of Malaysia's police special branch. He added that Malaysian officials were cooperating with Indonesia to track them. -- AP
