Sheldon Adelson’s Marina Bay Sands casino dodges terror attack

Sheldon Adelson’s casino in Singapore has narrowly dodged becoming the target of a terror attack.

On Friday, Indonesian authorities announced that they’d arrested six individuals suspected of plotting a terror attack on Singapore’s Marina Bay district, the home of Las Vegas Sands’ Marina Bay Sands integrated resort.

Police said the six individuals planned to fire rockets at Marina Bay from Batam, an Indonesian island located across the Strait of Singapore. The men were detained following a series of raids on multiple locations, including one at which weapons were found.

Police have so far declined to specify what type of weapons had been seized but the Straits Times quoted a neighbor of one of the arrested men saying that police had found a bomb that had “already been assembled.”
