| Police said Friday it has arrested a suspected militant who arranged for al-Qaeda funds to finance bombings in the Philippines, dzMM reported. Khair Mundus, who was arrested last week in Zamboanga City, funneled at least $89,000 from al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia to Abu Sayyaf Group leader Khaddafy Janjalani, police said. Police said Mundus, 40, first worked for Abdurajak Janjalani, the Abu Sayyaf founder killed in a gunfight with police in December 1998. Khaddafy and Abdurak Janjalani were brothers. Last month, another suspected militant Jordan Abdullah was arrested after a paper trail showed he allegedly hid terror funds from al-Qaeda in his bank accounts. The money allegedly was also used to fund the Abu Sayyaf's terror activities. |
