Singapore arrests suspected JI militant
2005-04-22
Singapore has arrested a suspected member of Jemaah Islamiyah, a southeast Asian terrorist group linked to Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaida network. In a statement, the Ministry of Home Affairs said Jahpar bin Osman allegedly underwent military training in Mindanao, Southern Philippines, where he was trained in weapons-handling and bomb-making. He was also involved in discussions by the JI to carry out terrorist attacks against Singapore, the ministry said Friday. The government foiled plots in 2001 and 2002 to bomb Western targets in the city-state.

#1  Excellent intelligence service, tight as hell border control, and a small geographic area to police. Though it's a helluvalot easier to do there, there's no doubt Singapore is doing it right.
