Singapore detains Singaporean Muhammad Irfan Danyal, 18, who had planned attacks on other people and various places

An 18-year-old student in Singapore has been detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA), after he planned to carry out attacks in the country using a knife and bombs. Muhammad Irfan Danyal Mohamad Nor had been self-radicalised with Islamic State propaganda. Singapore authorities say he acted alone. Irfan was arrested in December. Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam said the 18-year-old was detained under the ISA because he was assessed to be an imminent security threat.
