Does airstrikes really end the Tanduo siege ?

By Irfan Danial Leddu

LAHAD DATU : The month-long siege of a small Kampung Tanduo near Lahad Datu is set to end today with military jet fighters reportedly "bombing" the area earlier today.

Sources said, the army has taken over from the police today and would leave the scene soonest possible for Sabah's porous sea border in anticipation of further incursions.
