Muslim militants were planning attacks in Philippines
JOLO, Philippines (AP) The leader of an al-Qaida-linked militant group and two Indonesians suspected in the deadly 2002 Bali bombings may be plotting to attack U.S. and Philippine troops on a southern island, military officials said Monday.The militants were seen recently on Jolo island but could not launch their attacks because of problems caused by U.S.-backed offensives, two Philippine military officials told reporters on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Khadaffy Janjalani and the two Indonesians Dulmatin, who goes by one name, and Umar Patek also have run low on weapons and ammunition, one of the officials said. Posted by: ryuge 2006-06-06 |
