Singapore News: Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs has confirmed that the Singaporean arrested in Sumatra by the Indonesian authorities for links with Jemaah Islamiyah is not Mas Selamat Kastari. A spokesman said the ministry has been in communication with its Indonesian counterpart, but it is unable to share more details as this is an ongoing operational matter. Indonesian media reports have identified the Singaporean as Abu Hazam, who is also known as Omar. Abu Hazam was arrested last Saturday in the Sumatran village of Sekayu. Meanwhile, an expert on international terrorism said the arrests of terror suspects in Sumatra have emphasised the need for greater vigilance amongst security agencies in this region.
