Scb11980 1st Gear November 13, 2011 Share November 13, 2011 Jakarta foils terrorist plot against Singapore Embassy A terror cell was targeting Singaporeans leaving the embassy in Jakarta. The terror suspects also had their sights on Singapore. Sun, Nov 13, 2011 AsiaOne, AFP Three men have been arrested for being part of a terror cell which planned an attack on the Singapore Embassy in Jakarta. National police spokesman Saud Usman Nasution said the arrests took place in Tangerang city on the outskirts of Jakarta. One of the suspects was shot in the leg by anti-terror police as he attempted to escape. "An investigation is still ongoing and we cannot reveal for the time being their involvement in terror," he said, adding that during the morning raid police seized two firearms and more than a dozen bullets. An unnamed anti-terror police officer told AFP the three were linked to 11 terror suspects arrested in July, including ringleader Abu Umar who planned the embassy attack. They also said that ringleader Abu Umar alias Zulfikar, 41, was targeting Singaporeans leaving the embassy in Jakarta. Abu Umar and 10 of his followers were arrested in various parts of Java in July. The terror cell had also intended to attack several police stations. Umar had close links with Ahmad Sayid Maulana, killed in a police raid last year at his house, where police found a map of Singapore's train network. The underground train station on Orchard Road shopping belt had been circled on the map. A map of an airport in the city of General Santos in the southern Philippine island of Mindanao was also among the items found in the house. Following the July arrest, national anti-terror deputy chief Petrus Golose said Abu Umar led the group planning the attack, but there was no mention of when they intended to carry it out. The group was also believed to be involved in smuggling weapons into Indonesia from the Philippines through Malaysia. Indonesia has been rocked by a series of attacks staged by the regional terror network Jemaah Islamiyah in recent years, including the 2002 Bali bombings which killed 202 people. Brigadier-General Petrus Golose, a deputy at the National Anti-Terrorism Agency (BNPT), told The Straits Times that more members of Abu Umar's cell may still be at large. He said: "We are developing the case. Interrogations will reveal whether there are more of them from that cell and how many." ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
