Malaysia lists Sulu sultan as 'terrorist'

ZAMBOANGA CITY: Kuala Lumpur has listed as a 'terrorist' one of the eight descendants of the sultan of Sulu who secured a disputed arbitration award against Malaysia last year.

The Filipino heirs of the last Sultan of Sulu are seeking to enforce a $14.9-billion award granted to them by a French arbitration court last year to settle a dispute with the Malaysian government over a colonial-era land deal.
