The '''Singapore embassies attack plot''' was a plan in 2001 by [[Jemaah Islamiyah]] (JI) to [[bomb]] the [[diplomatic missions]] and attack [[personnel]] of the [[United States]], [[Australia]], the [[United Kingdom]], and [[Israel]] based in [[Singapore]]. There were also several other targets. The plot was uncovered in December 2001 and as many as 15 people were arrested in Singapore within a month. Further investigation and intelligence prompted the detention of another 26 persons from 2002 to 2005. As of 2006, 37 of them were still being detained without trial, under the [[Internal Security Act (Singapore)|Internal Security Act]]. Four had been released on restriction orders.
