Al-Qaida suspects arrested
for plot to bomb U.S. Enibas*
SINGAPORE (AP) — Singapore authori
ties have arrested 21 people on suspicion most
of them belong to an al-Qaida-linked militant
group that was plotting to blow up the U.S.
Embassy, the government said Monday.
All the suspects were Singaporean citi
zens, the Ministry of Home Affairs said with
out releasing details of their arrests last
month. None of them have been charged with
any crimes, although they remain detained as
allowed by the Internal Security Act.
The ministry said 19 of the suspects
belong to Jemaah Islamiyah, a hardline
Islamic group that authorities here say has
cells throughout Southeast Asia — a region
increasingly regarded as a second front in the
global war on terror.
That fact was highlighted last week when
U.S. embassies in Cambodia, Indonesia,
Malaysia and Vietnam shut down because of
security threats preceding the first anniversary
of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in the
United States.
Singapore, a key U.S. regional ally, last
year arrested 13 alleged Jemaah Islamiyah
members, claiming they planned to attack the
U.S. Embassy and other Western interests in
the wealthy city state.
Some the 13 men arrested in December
allegedly instructed those arrested last month
to conduct “reconnaissance and survey s of
select targets in Singapore, the government
said. It gave few other details.

JERUSALEM (AP) —
Israeli soldiers shot and killed
an Egyptian man near an Israeli-
controlled road in the Gaza Strip
on Monday, as Israelis observed

the Jewish calendar.
Although Yom Kippur ended
Monday evening. Israeli forces
said they would stay alert for

Israel has tightened security in
Palestinian areas during the hol
iday for fear of attacks.
Monday’s shooting hap
pened at an intersection on the
main north-south road through
Gaza, near the Jewish settle
ment of Gush Katif. There
were conflicting reports about
how it took place.
The Israeli army said the
Egyptian man threw several
grenades at Israeli soldiers, but the
army did not comment further.
A top Palestinian security
official said there was no clear
explanation for the man’s death.
“This man was killed for no
reason,” Maj. Gen. Abdel Razek
Majaidya said by telephone.
“We condemn this killing."
