| 2009-08-21 |
| One of the most wanted terrorists in the country was arrested by authorities in Marawi City Friday afternoon, police said. Dinno-Amor Rosalejos Pareja, aliases Khalil Pareja, Abu Jihad and Al-Luzoni, was arrested by members of the police Intelligence Group at Sitio (sub-village) Tuca in Marawi City past 1 p.m. Friday, said Senior Superintendent Leonardo Espina, Philippine National Police spokesman. Pareja, who was a ranking leader of the terror group Rajah Solaiman Movement, was arrested by virtue of an arrest warrant for rebellion issued by Judge Marissa Macaraig-Guillen in June 2006 in Makati City. No bail has been recommended for ParejaÂ’s release, Espina said. Pareja reportedly belongs to the core group of the RSM and believed to have assumed leadership after the arrest of RSM leader Hilarion Santos in 2005. Pareja is the brother-in-law and the most trusted man of Santos, Espina said. |

| #1 Good, Phillipinos seem able to contain their local jihad without a massive US presence, that makes lots of things easier. |
