ICC Note:
A pastor in Malaysia that has been abducted has not been heard from for weeks. The abduction, which was caught on CCTV involved three large black SUVs, two cars, and several motorcycles and was carried out less than a hundred meters from police housing. It was executed professionally and apparently had significant resources and training involved, with a member of the abduction team filming the operation and other members driving away would be witnesses. The pastor’s son has filed a police report saying he believes his father was murdered since no ransom has been requested. Although there is no indication as to why the pastor has been abducted, he has been accused of attempting to convert Muslims and he once had a bullet mailed to his house which was perceived to be a death threat. Malaysia is a predominantly Muslim nation with active radical Muslim organizations.
