Singapore: Some Bad Guys got away
2002-02-09
  • Singapore's sweep on a group of Muslim militants with suspected links to al Qaeda netted 15 people but some escaped, Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew said. The senior statesman said that during the December arrests, "five or eight others" got away. The arrest of the suspected gunnies, members of Jemaah Islamiah, was triggered by the capture of a Singapore man in Afghanistan by the Northern Alliance.
    It's to be expected that some will get away - the trouble is, it's usually the head cheeses. It'll be interesting to see where they ran, assuming anybody finds them. Likely they'll just try and fade in with a local population somewhere like Indonesia and lie low for a few years.
