TWO Singaporean members of the Jemaah Islamiah terror network who were detained under the Internal Security Act have been released.

A Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) statement on Thursday said both men 'have been cooperative in investigations and shown significant progress in their rehabilitation' since they were detained in January 2002.

The two, Mohamed Ellias Mohamed Khan and Ja'afar Mistooki, were arrested in December 2001 for their involvement in the JI's plans to mount attacks against several targets in Singapore. They were released on Jan 5.
