Legislator accused of orchestrating sectarian murders

Malaysia has detained a fugitive Iraqi lawmaker, Mohammed al-Daini, after he was caught using a fake passport at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, local media reported on Friday.

Daini was detained on Oct. 10 when an immigration officer at the departure checkpoint stopped him after checks revealed he was carrying someone else's traveling document, according to the online version of the New Straits Times.


"The suspect is still being detained because we still have to wait for a new travel document from the Iraqi Embassy before he can be sent back to his country of origin," Abdul Rahman Othman, director-general of the Immigration Department, was quoted by Bernama as saying.

In February, the Iraqi parliament lifted the immunity of Daini, paving the way for his arrest on charges of orchestrating a series of sectarian murders and attacks, including a suicide bombing in parliament.
