Singaporean authorities have received more than 1100 tips from the public in its manhunt for an alleged terrorist leader who escaped jail two weeks ago.
Mas Selamat bin Kastari, the alleged Singapore head of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) which is blamed for deadly attacks including the 2002 Bali bombings, vanished on February 27 after asking to use the toilet in his detention centre.

The more than 1100 phoned-in tips had been received from the public after police asked for information leading to Kastari's arrest, police director of operations Wong Hong Kuan said.
