JAKARTA - A SENIOR Indonesian police investigator revealed yesterday
that Singapore was a potential target for extremist groups in Indonesia and they
had singled out the Orchard MRT station.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, he told The Straits Times that the Orchard
station had been circled on a map of the MRT network found in the home of a terror
suspect killed last week.
'Singapore obviously is a target. They planned to enter Singapore through Malaysia,'
said the official, who has been involved in several high-profile counter-terrorism raids in Indonesia.
