Threat from extremists to southeast Asia growing

KO OLINA, Hawaii: The Threat that violent extremist groups pose to southeast Asia is growing each year as they become more organized and focused in their aims, Singapore Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said on Friday.

Ng was speaking to reporters following a meeting of southeast Asia defence ministers with US Defence Secretary Ash Carter in Hawaii, where the defence chiefs devoted a major chunk of time to discussing the Threat from Islamic State and similar groups.

Over 1,000 southeast Asians have flocked to join Islamic State’s self-declared “caliphate” in Iraq and Syria, Ng said.

“Every year we meet, the situation and Threat from extremist terrorism rises,” Ng said.

“Compared to, say, a year or even two years ago, they’re more organised...they’re more networked, they’re more clear in their articulation of what they want to achieve.

“Security officials said in June that southeast Asian militants who claim to be fighting for Islamic State said they had chosen one of the most wanted men in the Philippines to head a regional faction of the group.
