Singapore detained a 15-year-old student, the youngest person to be held under the city’s Internal Security Act for terrorism-related activities. Another teen had his movements restricted.
The 15-year old was arrested in November and planned to conduct attacks in Singapore, the Ministry of Home Affairs said in a statement Tuesday. He also allegedly “harbored the desire to establish an Islamic caliphate through violent means.” A 16-year-old was placed under a restriction order which limits his movements.
