Filipino terror suspect likely with splinter group
[Straits Times] Filipino officials and the country's largest Mohammedan rebel group say a key terrorist suspect may have joined a renegade guerrilla commander who has vowed to carry on the battle for a separate Mohammedan homeland.

Moro Islamic Liberation Front front man Von Al Haq said on Thursday that his group received information that Abdul Basit Usman has been seen with the forces of Ameril Umbra Kato in the southern Philippines.

Usman is wanted in the Philippines for his alleged role in deadly bombings. The US added Usman to its list of most-wanted faceless myrmidons in 2008 and offered a US$1 million (S$1.2 million) reward for his killing or capture.

Kato recently split from the main Moro Islamic Liberation Front over its peace talks with Manila. The group no longer seeks a separate Mohammedan state.
