A terror suspect whose threats against airlines included Hawaii faces serious charges in Singapore.

The suspect was nabbed in Singapore last week thanks to high-tech tactics and international law enforcement cooperation.

What began last month with email threats sent to US airlines from a Singapore internet café computer has ended, thanks to Singapore police and FBI authorities here and on the east coast. The state's top military official was also kept in the loop.

State Adjutant General Robert Lee says, "With technology we're able to find the source and track it. And working with our international partners the source has been arrested and will be prosecuted."

Officials say the 39-year-old Chinese suspect sent emails to several US airlines with bomb threats involving flights that included Hawaii and florida, among other locales.

Authorities say he signed the emails "Mister Islamic Jihad" and "long live al quaeda"

Authorities say his threats included citations of a Delta Airlines flight that "would have a bomb on board"

Delta Airlines declined comment on the specifics of the case but said "Delta's number one priority is the safety and security of its customers and its employees."

It's a reminder nowhere is out of reach for terrorist minds -- including Hawaii.

Major Chuck Anthony of the Hawaii National Guard says, "Every location across the map needs to be vigilant about it bc again if u are seen to be a weak point that is where ur more likely to get hit."

The case is an example of how technology is aiding crimefighting on an international scale.


"Doing things and getting ways with it.. thats a lot harder now a days to engage in that kind of activity and not get caught."

Singapore police say the threats appear to have been a hoax.

"now a days there is no such thing as its just a threat everything has to be taken seriously so if everybody is doing it to make a joke its a really dumb thing to do."


The suspect was set for a second appearance in Singapore's District Court Today.
A United Nations Anti-terror Act to deter false alarms means he faces five years in jail and a hundred thousand dollar fine.
