SINGAPORE: Posters of an alleged leader of the Jemaah
Islamiah (JI) militant network have been plastered across Singapore
as an intense hunt for the escapee entered a third day Saturday.
Photographs of Mas Selamat bin Kastari, believed to have headed the
Singapore branch of the Southeast Asia-based militant group JI
blamed for a string of deadly attacks, including the bombing of a
Bali nightclub in 2002 that killed 202 people, escaped on Wednesday
from a detention center on Wednesday where he was being held under
the Internal Security Act which allows for detention without trial.
Kastari also allegedly plotted to hijack a plane and crash it into
Changi Airport.
