DETROIT -- A Singapore businessman will spend four years in prison for his role in plotting to buy heavy artillery for export to Indonesia.

The equipment included handguns, machine guns, Sidewinder missiles and aviation radar.

Ibrahim Bin Amran was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Detroit. He was also ordered to forfeit his share of more than $600,000 paid to a government-run front company last year.

Amran was arrested last year along with three others after a meeting in Hawaii.

He pleaded guilty in December to conspiring to violate exporting laws. The others also pleaded guilty.

Just your average “Singaporean businessman.”

You can bet these weapons would have been used to kill Christians.

But not little Christian girls, whose heads they prefer to saw off.
