Self-radicalised 18-year-old student detained under Internal Security Act; the Islamic State supporter considered attacking Singapore army camp, gravesite
SINGAPORE: An 18-year-old Singaporean student who is an Islamic State supporter has been detained under the Internal Security Act after he considered plans to attack targets in Singapore, including an army camp and a gravesite at a mosque.
The post-secondary student started watching YouTube videos in 2020 by foreign extremist preachers such as Zakir Naik, who has been barred from entering Singapore since 2014. On the same day, he uploaded pictures of the flag on his social media account, encouraging others to join his caliphate. Inspired by car bomb videos by the Islamic State group, Irfan wanted to recruit a suicide bomber who would mount an attack at the gate of the camp.
