Wife of Indonesian terror suspect names 6 alleged militants hiding in RP
The detained wife of a top Indonesian terror suspect hiding in the southern Philippines has identified six other Asian militants allegedly on the run with her husband, a police official said Tuesday. They include four Indonesians, a Singaporean and a Malaysian -- all newly trained members of the Southeast Asian al-Qaida-linked Jemaah Islamiyah group -- Dulmatin's wife, Istiada Binti Oemar Sovie, told police investigators. Dulmatin and Umar Patek, Indonesians suspected of plotting the 2002 nightclub bombings that killed 202 people on Indonesia's Bali island, have been hiding with top leaders of the local Abu Sayyaf militant group in southern Sulu province, officials said. Dulmatin's wife "gave us six other names of foreign nationals who are presently with Umar Patek and Dulmatin in Sulu," said Chief Superintendent Romeo Ricardo, director of the national police intelligence group. He did not identify them, but a debriefing report seen by The Associated Press showed Dulmatin's wife named the Singaporean as Manobo, and the four other Indonesians aside from her husband and Umar Patek as Baharin, Zae, Tom and Karim. The report only gave one name for each of the suspected Jemaah Islamiyah militants, and did not refer to the Malaysian mentioned by Ricardo. Posted by: Fred 2006-11-15 |
