Malaysian police said Saturday they had detained 79 suspects linked to Filipino intruders in Borneo as they intensify an operation to flush out members of a Filipino Muslim clan. National police chief Ismail Omar said 79 men and women, held without trial under a security law, were being investigated for their links to the gunmen, according to a report of the Associated Press. Ismail said a Filipino gunman was killed early Saturday after he tried to escape a police cordon, raising the death toll to 61.
