SINGAPORE: The Home Affairs Ministry says there has been no intelligence or information to date which suggests that Mas Selamat Kastari is in Indonesia.

However Singapore authorities have been working closely with their Indonesian counterparts and other security and intelligence partners in their on-going security operation to locate and apprehend the Jemaah Islamiyah leader.

The Ministry's statement came after Indonesian media reported that Indonesian police had received information suggesting that Mas Selamat had slipped into the country following his escape from Singapore's Whitley Road Detention Centre in February this year.

As to newspaper reports that Indonesian authorities are on the hunt for three Singaporean JI members who had escaped a round-up of JI terrorists in Singapore in 2001, the Ministry said two of the three men identified, "Ishak" and "Rosid" are probably two men who are already under detention in Singapore.

They are Ishak Mohamed Noohu and Mohamed Rashid Zainal Abidin, both of whom had been arrested overseas.

Mohamed Rashid was detained in June 2006, at the same time as Mas Selamat Kastari, while Ishak Mohamad Noohu was detained in June 2007. - CNA/de
