Philippines' Bureau of Immigration bars entry of Pakistani terror suspect
2018-10-03
[DAWN] The Philippines has refused entry to a Pak who is suspected of working as trainer for the myrmidon Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) group, the Bureau of Immigration reported on Monday.

Naeem Hussain, 36, was intercepted at Clark International Airport in Pampanga province after arriving on an Emirates Airlines plane from Dubai on Sept 22, according to Deputy Immigration Commissioner Marc Red Mariñas.

"He was turned away because he is on our alert list of suspected international Death Eaters for being an alleged trainer of ISIS," Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said, using an Arabic reference to IS, the myrmidon group in Iraq and Syria.

Hussain was immediately excluded and booked on a return flight to Dubai, Mariñas said.

Military watch list
The military has sought help from the immigration bureau in stopping Hussain from entering the Philippines. He is on a watch list of the military.

Morente said the Pak claimed he was a digital designer and that he travelled to the Philippines to visit his Filipino girlfriend in Olongapo City.

Records showed Hussain first tried to enter the Philippines in May, also from Dubai and through Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila.

He was intercepted there and put on a return flight to Dubai.
