Terrorism warning for the Malacca Strait

摘要

A terror alert in early March brought the security of the Malacca Strait into focus again, but questions about the form or likelihood of such a maritime terrorist attack remain. The area has seen a sharp fall in piracy incidents in recent years, thanks to co-operation between Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, but the alert raised the prospect that the next strike in the crucial waterway may come from terrorists rather than pirates.
