JI detainee does a prison break.

[calebk]

just wonder if its just a plot to get rid of him.....coz b4 this he did not commit any so call crime or terror act, he just plan, so let him take chance and now that he escape and red warning is issued, wonder if it would be a good time to get rid of him once and for all. Dangerous man on run shoot if threaten or maybe I watch too much movie liao?:think:

In case you do not know the definition of an Interpol Red Alert, it is not shoot on sight. An Interpol Red Alert basically means any Interpol officer, worldwide, has the authority to arrest the man on the spot, wherever he is found.

this wanted man could not have survived by now.. human cannot survive without food and water for so long

It is clearly stated in the news that he has had hit-and-run and survivalist training, and such training prepares you to forage, and survive in seemingly impossibly circumstances, such as in deep rainforest. Perhaps you should update yourself with the daily news.

Interpol has no powers of arrest, which would touch on fundamental sovereignty issues. Interpol can merely alert police forces in other countries to the situation and ask for their collaboration.

Hmm. Why is it that I read it yesterday's Straits Times that "any Interpol officer can arrest him on the spot"..? :dunno:

Because most newspapers worldwide write a lot of nonsense. In a local context, I'm not aware of any newspaper that I would take remotely serious.

Interpol has a website that has a lot of easy to understand information: http://www.interpol.int/

And here's the section on the "red notice": http://www.interpol.int/Public/Wanted/fugitiveInvestServ.asp

Of course it would be too much to expect journalists to look this up before sensationalising things.

Edit: here's another page that states it so explicitly and clearly that even SPH editors could be expected to grasp it: http://www.interpol.int/Public/Wanted/Default.asp

To cite,

An Interpol Red Notice is NOT an international arrest warrant. [emphasis mine]

...

The persons concerned are wanted by national jurisdictions (or the International Criminal Tribunals, where appropriate) and Interpol's role is to assist the national police forces in identifying or locating those persons with a view to their arrest and extradition.

These red notices allow the warrant to be circulated worldwide with the request that the wanted person be arrested with a view to extradition.

Someone should do a t-shirt with slogan

"Singapore Most Wanted" and have this poster printed on it!!!

this wanted man could not have survived by now.. human cannot survive without food and water for so long

this guy is from the JI, and is one of the heads...hence i would want to think that he has some sort of training similar to "jungle" survival where he can survive for days/weeks without food.

AFAIK, the red trucks are no longer in use as Anti-Riot vehicles, but are the vehicles used by SOC. They usually travel in groups of 4.

Hi I think you misread it. mypaper also said "The red alert means that any law enforcement office among the international police network's 186 member countries can help arrest him on the spot."

It didn't say that ICPO has officers who will arrest him, but that police from member countries can help to arrest him.
