Terror group plotted to attack US navy base

The South-east Asian terror group Jemaah Islamiyah plotted an attack on an American naval base in Singapore, a court heard today.

Mas Selamat Kastari, the alleged head of the group in the city-state, was testifying in Jakarta at the trial of Abu Bakara Bashir, a Muslim cleric who Indonesian authorities say is the spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiyah.
