Mohamed Khairul Riduan Mohamed Sarip, 38, is the first teacher and public servant to be investigated for terrorism-related offences.
CONSIDERED TRAVELLING TO GAZA SEVERAL TIMES
Khairul also viewed videos by Naik and another radical foreign preacher, Ahmed Deedat. These videos discussed the concept of armed jihad in defence of Islam, and further entrenched Khairul’s belief in the need to engage in armed defence of the Palestinians. He did not follow through on these occasions either because of travel restrictions. In 2014, an escalation in the conflict led Israel to close its borders to Gaza, while COVID-19 restrictions were in effect in 2021.
ISD said: “He was willing to abide by any instructions given by HAMAS, including armed combat, kidnapping, and even executing Prisoners of War. He was confident of applying the weapons-handling skills and fieldcraft acquired during his National Service to engage in armed combat.” Additionally, Khairul thought about being a spokesperson and international recruiter for HAMAS, said ISD.
Investigations showed no signs that he tried to involve others in his plans to travel to Gaza to carry out armed violence. These signs include avid consumption of radical materials, expressions of an “us versus them” mentality, expressing support for terrorist or militant groups, or interest in travelling overseas to participate in armed conflict.
“If he had any of these tendencies at that point in time, and we had known, obviously he would not have been employed and the checks are designed to uncover these sort of things. But if people keep things in their mind and hide it, sometimes it may not be possible.”
