The Strait of Malacca separates Sumatra in the south from the Malay Peninsula in the north.

Royal Malaysian Police Inspector-General Musa Hassan said at a maritime security meeting today that there is a "real and possible" threat of terrorism in the Strait of Malacca, which is shared by Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

The strait, through which passes 40 percent of the world's trade, has had a drop in incidences of piracy, but Hassan says he fears a LP gas vessel could be commandeered for a suicide mission.
