PONTIAN: The decision on whether to free Malaysian militant Yazid Sufaat, who was directly linked to the Sept 11,2001 attacks in the United States, from the Simpang Renggam prison has yet to be finalised.

Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the ministry would leave it first to the Prevention of Terrorism Board to make a report on the matter.

"The board, which is expected to convene soon, will see if the detainee is behaving well while under imprisonment and whether he has changed or not before making their decision," he added. It was reported by Singapore Straits Times that Yazid, 55, a US-trained biochemist, described as an “unrepentent terrorist”, was being held at the Simpang Renggam prison in Johor for two years under the Prevention of Terrorism Act .The report said Yazid, who has been jailed three times in the past 17 years for terrorism-related activities, once attempted to produce weapons of mass destruction for al-Qaeda.
