| 2007-09-12 |
| (Xinhua) -- An alleged bomber said to have ties to the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) militant group was arrested in General Santos City in south Philippines before he could stage a bombing attack on a mall there, local TV network GMA News reported Tuesday. The report said the bomb suspect, Maipasagi Gani, was caught with an 81-mm mortar with nails, a rifle grenade and a cell phone to be used as a detonator. He said he was instructed to plant the bomb in a shopping mall in the city on Tuesday, to coincide with the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, according to the report. |
