MALAYSIAN FM DEPARTS FOR JORDAN TO SECURE RELEASE OF MSIANS
KUALA LUMPUR, June 2 (Bernama) -- Foreign Minister Anifah Aman left for Jordan Wednesday morning to secure the release of 12 Malaysians who were among those seized by Israeli forces who stormed the "Mavi Marmara" ship that was part of the Gaza aid flotilla.
Anifah was accompanied by several Wisma Putra (Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
officials, an aide told Bernama.
Anifah said Tuesday 12 Malaysians were on the ship that was raided on
Monday and none were reported injured.
He said Wisma Putra was still determining the locations of all the
Malaysians who were held by the Israelis and that the Mavi Marmara ship had been
towed to the Haifa port.
Several countries like Jordan and Turkey had expressed willingness to help
bring back the Malaysians.
Israel stopped the six-ship convoy and 700 activists were detained.
It said it would deport 682 of the activists from 35 countries, among them
11 Malaysians.
