| A Philippine man police say provided the explosives for a plan to attack U.S. military personnel and naval vessels as well as the British High Commission, the Israeli Embassy and the Australian High Commission in Singapore, has been arrested. Officials said Hussain Ramos, 35, was helping members of Jemaah Islamiyah, an Islamic extremist group authorities say is linked to al-Qaida. He was arrested Monday in Marawi, in the southern Philippines. Ramos was implicated by Fathur Rohman Al-Ghozi, an Indonesian who told police he helped plan a series of almost simultaneous bombings that killed 22 people in Manila in 2000. He has been in custody since January. It's wonderful when these guys sing. The tunes lead to others, and pretty soon you've got a chorus. |
