| An alleged Philippine urban terrorist, reportedly with connections to Jemaah Islamiyah and the local Our correspondent, Shirley Escalante, says the man identified as Aldzherar Salapuddin Jila, was allegedly trained in bomb making. He was arrested in a raid on a suspected hideout of local terrorists in the southern province of Sulu. Bomb making materials, assorted weapons and ammunition were confiscated from the hideout.
During interrogation he admitted his group was behind four bombings in Sulu Island since December which left four people dead.
Authorities also say the suspect was behind a bomb attack in the southern city of Zamboanga in 2002, where an American soldier was killed. | ||
