2 senior Jemaah Islamiyah members detained under ISA
-
SINGAPORE: Two senior members of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) terrorist organisation have been detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for involvement in terrorism-related activities.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said on Thursday that it issued Orders of Detention (ODs) against Abd Rahim Abdul Rahman in March this year and Husaini Ismail in June this year.
MHA said the two had undergone terrorist training in Afghanistan with the Al-Qaeda terrorist organisation in 1999/2000.
They had also been actively involved in observing several potential local and foreign targets in Singapore for a terrorist attack.
Both men fled Singapore in December 2001 soon after the start of the security operation against the JI and took refuge overseas.
While on the run, Husaini was involved in a plot - led by Singapore JI leader Mas Selamat Kastari - to hijack an airplane bound for Singapore and crash it into Changi Airport in January 2002 to retaliate against the disruption of the Singapore JI network.
Abd Rahim was arrested in Malaysia in February this year and was deported to Singapore.
Husaini was arrested in Indonesia in June 2009 and was jailed for immigration offences.
He was deported to Singapore after he had served his jail term, in May 2012.
The ministry also announced that three individuals were released from detention between March and September 2012.
JI member Rijal Yadri Jumari, who was detained under the ISA in March 2008, was released on 20 March this year.
He was a member of the JI's "Al-Ghuraba" cell in Pakistan that comprised young JI members who were being groomed to be operatives and future JI leaders.
Mohd Jauhari Abdullah, a senior JI member detained in September 2002 in the second phase of the Singapore JI arrests, was released on 15 September this year.
Muhammad Fadil Abdul Hamid, a self-radicalised youth who intended to wage armed jihad in Afghanistan and die as a martyr on the battlefield, was detained under the ISA in April 2010 and released on 4 April 2012.
The Restriction Orders (ROs) against 17 JI members were allowed to lapse between March and September this year, as they had been cooperative and responsive to rehabilitation efforts and no longer required further supervision under the RO regime.

Is a good news that they are not killed during their wrong understanding of Allah, the great teaching. This JI members should be awared that they are not in line with Allah teaching on love all people is loving Allah. And to smoothly completing their human dignified live of love and gratitude for heaven bliss of today, tomorrow and thereafter eternally, the only way is to embark on the right path on love, peace, courtesy and joys together. This required the assistance of Muslim community to develop the right way of life amongst one another, and expand / enlarging this love and grace outward towards the community within a nation and internationally. Allah is with them always, even serving prison term, just have faith in Allah loving you always. Detention is sort of a mere "cell" that cannot cell your loving heart. Be confident in living a bliss, joys and lovely live beyond the naked eyes of all, as they share the same loving heart as everyone else does. Be the harmonious change for the sake of Allah
Sometimes, I speak Allah is like Buddha Shakyamuni speaking Buddha Amitabha

Hi bycai The Buddhists are definitely proud of you for what you have written. However, I'm not sure if the muslims will be happy with your linking of Allah and Buddha Amitabha. In Buddhism, everyone can be a Buddha by realizing our buddha-nature. In Islam, however, Allah is not the same as human, even though one could feel the love of Allah. It is a BLASPHEMY to equate Allah with human and any creatures. While your comment has a well intention, one need to be cautious about racial and religious hyper-sensitivities in view of the recent slew of events.
