Philippine bombing suspect killed in gun battle

A bombing suspect was killed in a gun battle Monday when he fought with police commandos who were trying to arrest him in Maguindanao province.

Police special forces, backed by agents of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, were serving a warrant to Moro militant Yusop Kusain for his alleged involvement in a deadly 2007 bombing.

Senior Superintendent Reuben Sindac said Kusain hurled a grenade and opened fire on authorities, injuring two police officers, before he was killed in Datu Paglas town.

Besides the 2007 bombing, which killed at least four people in General Santos City, Kusain was also linked to a number of other bombings blamed on Moro rebels in the past.
