Singapore IS fighter challenges Prince Harry

A Singaporean member of the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria has appeared in a video challenging Britain's Prince Harry to fight the jihadists, a monitoring group and authorities said yesterday.

It is believed to be the first time that a fighter from the affluent city-state has featured prominently in one of IS's videos.

In the English-language video released Saturday, a man identified as "Abu 'Uqayl" from Singapore took issue with Prince Harry talking about a terror attack in London while on a visit to Singapore in June.
