Changi plot suspect 'captured in Java'
The Jakarta Globe
JAKARTA: Indonesian police have nabbed a Singaporean, identified as Husaini Ismail, who allegedly plotted to hijack a plane in Bangkok and crash it into Singapore's Changi Airport in 2001, according to a report yesterday.
If his arrest is confirmed, it would mean that all five men involved in the failed plot are now in custody.
They were believed to be part of a five-man terrorist cell led by Singapore Jemaah Islamiah (JI) leader Mas Selamat Kastari, who fled Singapore that year when the Internal Security Department (ISD) rounded-up JI members.
Singapore is lucky to have good neighbors.
