Singapore's most-wanted terror suspect is in custody in Malaysia. Malaysian Home Minister Hishamuddin Hussein told reporters on Friday that Mas Selamat bin Kastari had been arrested on April 1 in a joint operation by the Singaporean and Malaysian intelligence agencies. Two other suspected JI militants were detained at the same time.
