To all those who like to think that Malaysia under Dr. Mahathir Mohamad is a haven for terrorists:- Found at last: JI's 4 tonnes of bomb powder Arrested suspect leads police to ammonium nitrate that was meant for use against Singapore targets By Brendan Pereira KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian police have answered one of the most troubling questions in the region's war against terror: What became of a missing consignment of ammonia nitrate bought by the Jemaah Islamiah for a bombing campaign in Singapore? The planned truck bomb attacks on embassies and other American targets were foiled with the arrests of several JI operatives on both sides of the Causeway in December 2001. But the whereabouts of the four tonnes of ammonia nitrate - more than the amount used to bring the FBI building in Oklahoma down like a pack of cards - has remained a worry for countries in the region. It was initially believed that the consignment had been shipped to Batam, an Indonesian island near Singapore, but this could not be confirmed. Until it was accounted for, the consignment was a source of concern because there was always the nagging fear that the fertiliser remained in the wrong hands. On Sunday, Malaysian police found three tonnes of the ammonia nitrate in a shed at an oil palm plantation in Muar, Johor. They believe that the remaining amount - possibly up to a tonne - was used as fertiliser at the plantation. The breakthrough followed the arrest of a JI member on March 12. The suspect, Mohamed Amin Musa, 29, is a relative of Taufik Abdul Halim, the Malaysian who is serving a life prison sentence in Jakarta for bombing a mall and several churches in Indonesia, and Zulkifli Hir, a senior member of the JI who is still on the run. The consignment of ammonia nitrate was purchased in 2000 by Yazid Sufaat, a biochemist who has been tagged by US investigators as an Al-Qaeda operative. The graduate of California State University is also said to have hosted Sept 11 hijackers Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaq Alhazmi, who visited Kuala Lumpur in 2000. In September of that year, Yazid bought the ammonia nitrate, and it was transported from a shop in Klang to Muar. The chemicals were to be used by the Singapore chapter of the JI to make truck bombs to attack foreign embassies in the Republic. Informed sources told The Straits Times that after being detained and interrogated, Yazid provided the police with some leads on the consignment of fertiliser. He told them that the chemical was still in Muar and that the arrests of JI members on both sides of the Causeway had scuttled plans to use it in a bombing campaign. However, he could not pinpoint the exact location of the fertiliser. That missing link was provided by Amin, the JI member arrested last week. Malaysian police have waged a battle against the JI since early 2001. More than 80 suspected militants have been detained under the Internal Security Act, which allows for detention without trial for two years. The authorities here believe that the terrorist organisation has about 120 members, most of whom are foot soldiers. They are still looking for Hambali, the point man for Al-Qaeda operations in the region, and Associate Professor Mohamad Azahari, believed to be an explosives expert for the group. The JI's ultimate aim is to set up Islamic states in Malaysia, Indonesia, the southern Philippines and Brunei.
