Indonesian police arrest six suspects allegedly planning Singapore attack
[AlAhram] Six Indonesians were tossed in the clink
Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!
 on Batam island on Friday for planning an attack on Singapore, an Indonesian police front man said.

"What we understand so far is that they were planning to attack vital objects, busy areas including police offices," police front man Agus Rianto told news hounds.

"We also obtained information that these suspects with one ISIS terrorist in Syria now planned to attack Singapore via Batam," he said, referring to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 bully boy group.

The six were suspected to have links to Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian fighting for Islamic State in Syria. Naim is believed to be one of the criminal masterminds of an attack in January in central Jakarta, in which eight people were killed including the four attackers.

Batam is just to the south of Singapore.
An Nahar adds:
Police named the alleged ringleader as 31-year-old Gigih Rahmat Dewa. Police suspect Dewa, 31, received and distributed funds sent by Naim. Naim has been linked to several recent terror plots in Indonesia, including a suicide kaboom on a cop shoppe in the city of Solo last month that left one police officer injured.

Dewa is also accused of previously harbouring two members of China's ethnic Uighur minority, some of whom have travelled to Indonesia to join bully boy groups, and of helping gunnies on their journeys to Syria.

Analysts said it was unclear whether the Death Eaters had the ability to carry out such a plan, which would involve firing a rocket over a distance of about 20 kilometres (12 miles).

Indonesia has long struggled with Islamic militancy and has suffered a string of attacks in the past 15 years, including the 2002 Bali bombings that killed more than 200 people. A crackdown had weakened the most dangerous networks but IS has proved a potent new rallying cry for the country's radicals, and hundreds of Indonesians have headed to the Middle East to join the jihadists.
