SINGAPORE (AFP) - - A Singaporean man on trial in Indonesia for plotting terror attacks has said he plotted to crash a plane into the island-state's Changi Airport, the Straits Times reported Wednesday.

</noscript>Mohammad Hassan bin Saynudin said he and alleged Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) member Mas Selamat bin Kastari planned to hijack a plane in Bangkok and ram it into the airport, the report said. The plan was aborted when Thai authorities became aware of it, he told the newspaper from a court lock-up in Indonesia on Tuesday. "We wanted to do it out of anger with Singapore for being an ally of the United States for what it did in Afghanistan," said Hassan, also an alleged member of the Southeast Asia-based Islamic militant group JI.

"What I was trying to do was to defend Islam and Muslims." The Straits Times said this was the first time an alleged extremist linked to the JI has admitted planning to carry out an attack on Changi Airport, a regional aviation hub. Singaporean authorities had previously said that JI members including Mas Selamat planned to crash a plane into Changi Airport in 2001. Hassan was one of ten suspected JI members who went on trial Tuesday in Indonesia for plotting attacks against foreigners and Christian priests in the country.

According to the charge sheet, he received military training in Afghanistan around 2000 and met Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Mas Selamat, the alleged Singapore leader of JI, escaped from a tightly guarded detention facility in the city-state last year and remains at large. Singapore is a close ally of the United States in the "war against terror" and officials have said the island-state is a top target for extremists.

that is what brainwashing is all about and its easy to brainwash those who are ignorant and knows little of the whole picture.

It benefited singapore politically to support USA in the war against terrorism and at the same time, Singapore would not want any terrorist to see them as a light target as they do have USA as backers.

However, its quite well known that singapore do some black market jobs on the weapean market and have supplied arms through 3th parties to ar zones where arms embargos are in place. A good example is supplying arms to the croats as well as serb muslims during the recent civil wars there. How abt supply of technology to countries that dislike USA such as Sudan, Iran, North Korea and Burma?

terrorist just want to create trouble when there is none to. This singaore guy is stupid. That is all i can say.

Not to be worry, we have great teams of elite security professionals and intelligence agents whom can prevent such thing from happening.
