Singapore - The mystery over how an accused terrorist with a limp managed to escape from a tightly-secured detention centre in Singapore will be revealed on Monday seven weeks after Mas Selamat sparked the biggest manhunt in the country's history. Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng is scheduled to deliver a statement in parliament disclosing the findings of an inquiry committee amid public criticism and ridicule on the internet about how the suspected leader of the city-state's wing of the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) militant group managed to get away.
