| 2005-06-09 |
| Muslim guerrillas said on Thursday they were helping government troops capture two Indonesians blamed for the deadly 2002 Bali bombings and confirmed that the terror suspects were hiding near their southern strongholds with eight other militants. The two suspected bombers - Pitono, also known as Dulmatin, and Umar Patek - have been sighted in a mountainous region bordering the southern provinces of Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur, often with al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf extremists, Moro Islamic Liberation Front spokesman Eid Kabalu said. Kabalu spoke a day after deputy national security adviser Virtus Gil announced that the pair from the Jamaah Islamiyah terror network, which originated from Indonesia, were plotting fresh attacks and undergoing terror training in the southern Philippines. Gil said the suspects have met with Abu Sayyaf chieftain Khaddafy Janjalani, and one of them, Dulmatin, was last seen near Maguindanao a few days ago. |
