| Philippines Files Charges Against Bomb Suspects |
| 2002-04-23 |
| Philippine police on Tuesday filed charges against two Muslim rebels linked to weekend bomb blasts in the south as the United States deployed more troops in the country to help repel terror strikes. "Our investigation showed that they were trained in making bombs in Malaysia by Malaysian and other foreign trainers. There were six other Filipino Muslims with them during the training and we are now looking for them," Baluyot said by telephone. Baluyot said police were not ruling out possible links between the General Santos bombers and the Jemaah Islamiah. A man who said he was speaking for the local Muslim Abu Sayyaf guerrilla group told local radio on Monday the group was responsible for the bombings. Yesterday they said the guys were MILF. My guess is that MILF, the Saudis' pet terror organization, and Abu Sayyaf, which was originally a breakaway from MNLF, either share the same pool of warm bodies or are both arms of Jemaah Islamiah, which amounts to the same thing. |
