KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Authorities are investigating whether a suspected Malaysian militant let two of the Sept. 11 hijackers and accused terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui stay in his apartment during visits in 2000. Yazid Sufaat, an alleged member of an Islamic militant cell suspected of having ties to Afghanistan's Taliban militia, was arrested Dec. 9 as he crossed from Thailand into Malaysia. He was believed to be coming from Central Asia at the time.

His wife, Sejahratul Dursina, told The Associated Press on Thursday that police questioned her about whether he knew Sept. 11 hijackers Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi, as well as about Moussaoui, who faces conspiracy charges in the United States in connection with the suicide attacks.
