SINGAPORE has released a 48-year-old man who was a senior member of the JI terror network here headed by Mas Selamat Kastari.

Arifin Ali, also known as John Wong Ah Hung, was freed and placed on a Restriction Order on Monday, said the Ministry of Home Affairs on Tuesday.

Such an order means his activities are limited. For instance, he has to attend counselling sessions, and needs approval before changing jobs or going abroad.
