SINGAPORE - A Singaporean terrorist serving an 18-year jail term in Indonesia has released a video denouncing the Taliban, but a security expert warns that this is likely a bid to convince the Indonesian government that he no longer poses a threat.
In a 20-minute video filmed on the prison island of Nusakambangan in Central Java earlier this month, Mohammad Hassan Saynudin, better known as Fajar Taslim, slammed the Taliban as "fanatics" and called the group's takeover of Afghanistan "un-Islamic".
