India’s efforts to seek extradition of an accused from Malaysia who is wanted for alleged conspiracy of a terror strike on the US and Israeli consulates in south India, hit a roadblock with a top law office in Kuala Lumpur raising questions over the claim for his custody.

Further more, the official interrogation report, which could have given clues to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in its probe, has also not been handed over after Malaysian Attorney General’s office red flagged India’s request, official sources said.

India had sought extradition of Mohammad Hussain Mohammad Sulaiman, a Sri Lankan national, arrested by Special Unit of Malaysian Police from the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur in May. He is alleged to have conspired with Sakir Hussain, another Sri Lankan national, who was arrested in India in April.

According to the conspiracy, Hussain was to carry out reconnaissance of the US consulate in Chennai and Israeli consulate in Bangalore while Sulaiman was to ferry two suicide attackers to India for carrying out terror strikes at both the places.
