# Communist Terrorism / International Terrorism - Singapore experienced its first encounter with international terrorism on 31 January 1974 when foreign terrorists hijacked the ferry boat Laju and held crew members hostage. The terrorists had earlier attacked the Shell oil refinery on Pulau Bukom in an attempt to disrupt the oil supply from Singapore to South Vietnam. After several days of negotiation, the hijackers finally agreed to release the hostages in exchange for safe passage from Singapore to Kuwait.
