Malaysia deports Singaporean terrorist suspect

None

Malaysia deported a Singaporean terrorist suspect Friday nearly 18 months after he was captured while on the run after staging a dramatic escape from a high-security prison in the city-state.

 

Mas Selamat Kastari, the alleged commander of the Singapore arm of the al-Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah militant group, was released from a Malaysian prison Friday morning, said Mohamad Fuzi Harun, head of the Federal Police's counterterrorism unit, in a written statement. (AP)
