Terrorist Escapes in Singapore


The Singapore Police Force is looking for this man, Mas Selamat Kastari - leader of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) network. He escaped from a detention center in Singapore at 4.05pm.

Mas Selamat was involved in the JI's plans to mount attacks against foreign and local establishments here. These included the US Embassy and American Club, the Defence Ministry headquarters at Bukit Gombak and the Education Ministry building at North Buona Vista Drive.

Mas Selamat fled Singapore in December 2001 following an Internal Security Department operation against the terrorist organisation.

The militant leader had been on the run after Singapore authorities discovered plans to crash seven truck filled with bombs at various locations around the island.

Investigations also revealed that he was the mastermind behind a plan to hijack an airplane and crash it into Changi airport.

Anyone with information about him, can contact the Singapore Police Force at 999 or contact your Police Department.
