Four specially trained policemen would leave next week for Kuala Lumpur to bring down the hardcore terrorists to Colombo, police sources said.
A senior police officer said that the Malaysian police had assured to cooperate with their Sri Lankan counterparts to apprehend other Tiger suspects who have taken refuge in the South East Asian country with the help of the information elicited from the LTTE suspects arrested by them.
The Malaysian police have warned the citizens of that country with dire consequences if they provided refuge or assisted terrorists in any manner.
