OKLAHOMA CITY-STYLE ATTACKS
Officials said Jabarah was known as “Sammy” and was the mastermind of the Singapore bombing plot. Jabarah allegedly helped make home videotapes of potential targets in Singapore, including the U.S. and Israeli embassies.
The Singapore Home Affairs Ministry said this week that “Sammy” ordered members of the cell to buy 17 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer to load onto truck bombs. That is the material Timothy McVeigh used to blow up the Oklahoma City federal building in 1995.
Members of the Singapore cell were to use the trucks to blow up a variety of targets in addition to the U.S. and Israeli embassies, the ministry said, including offices of the British and Australian governments and commercial buildings housing U.S. companies.
“I believe he directed these members, teaching them how to construct bombs, pushing them to procure material for bomb construction,” Chan Heng Chee, Singapore’s ambassador to the United States, told NBC News.

POST-SEPT. 11 KNOWLEDGE
U.S. and Singaporean security officials uncovered the plot in December. They discovered Sammy’s surveillance tape and arrested 15 men alleged to be part of Jemaah Islamiya, a network of Southeast Asian militants that seeks to build an Islamic state across Malaysia, Indonesia and the predominantly Muslim southern region of the Philippines.
Western officials said Jemaah Islamiya was linked to al-Qaida, which carried out the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington. U.S. officials told NBC News that Jabarah acknowledged being a member of al-Qaida and admitted his involvement in the Singapore bombing plot.
The officials said Jabarah had knowledge of al-Qaida terrorist plans drawn up since Sept. 11 and could be called on to testify at the coming trials of other suspected al-Qaida terrorists, explaining how the organization works.
Among those they said Jabarah could testify against are Moussaoui; Jose Padilla, the former Chicago gang member who was arrested in May on suspicion of plotting to detonate a radioactive “dirty” bomb in the United States; and Richard Reid, the British airline passenger who was arrested in December after a trans-Atlantic flight on which he allegedly tried to set off bombs in his shoes.
