Terrorism

by: henry

When the Americans bombed Afghanistan, a videotape and handwritten notes in Arabic, were found in the rubble of an al-Qaeda leader’s house by American soldiers, way back in 2001. The surveillance videos was shot by a suspected Jemaah Islamiyah member, a citizen of Singapore, showing potential terrorist targets around Singapore. Subsequently, the tape was handed to the Singapore Government. Fifteen suspects were arrested and the plot uncovered.

 

Video footage was centred around the Mass Rapid Transport (MRT) railway station. Evil intentions were to bomb a shuttle bus service conveying US personnel between a naval base and the Yishun MRT Station. There was also footage of a line of bicycles with carry boxes strapped to them, which the narrator suggested could be used to carry explosives up to a target. They even target Paya Lebar Airbase, where U.S. aircrafts were stationed. Another plan was also discovered detailing an ambitious plan to bomb US naval vessels in Singapore. The videotape was send to al-Qaeda leader in Afghanistan for approval. With God’s blessing,  the plan did not took off, failing which many innocent lives would be at stake.

 

Singapore is a staunch supporter of  America in its fight against terrorism. As the financial hub of Asia, it’s very vulnerable to terrorist attack. Measures have been taken by the Singapore Government with well-trained policemen patrolling MRT trains and at key buildings especially embassies. I personally do not want this kind of things to happen in Singapore….America or anywhere in the world.

 

September 11th 2005 marks the 4th Anniversary of Ground Zero.

A minute of silence to those who have loss their innocent lives, all because of Terrorism!

    Once they\'re rid-off, the word \'terrorism\' will cease to exist even in the dictionary.
