Singaporean man deported from Turkey and detained for trying to join ISIS

SINGAPORE: -- The Strates Times reported that a 51-year-old Singaporean man who was on his way to join militant group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Syria has been detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA), citing the Ministry of Home Affairs said in a statement on Tuesday.

The man, identified as Mustafa Sultan Ali, is the first Singaporean to be arrested abroad for trying to join ISIS, which has attracted some 30,000 foreign fighters to territory it controls in Syria and Iraq, including some 1,000 from Southeast Asia.

He also told Singapore authorities that he was prepared to carry out attacks in Singapore.

Mustafa, whose occupation was not disclosed, had left Singapore in late May this year for a neighbouring country where he boarded a flight to Turkey.

He had planned to cross into Syria from the Turkish border, but was detained by local authorities in Turkey and subsequently deported to Singapore in June 2015.

“Investigations showed that Mustafa had been deeply radicalised by the terrorist ideology of ISIS and other radical ideologues he had come across online,” the statement added.

The statement said Mustafa said he was prepared to carry out ISIS-directed terrorist attacks against Western establishments in Singapore.

At least two Singaporeans are known to have gone to Syria to join ISIS, and both had taken their families and young children along. They are still believed to be there.

Even in America, it appears all these so called citizens of various nation's have Islamic names. Time to put 2 and 2 together and do something about these people. No mental deficiencies do not cut it for a defense.
