COTABATO CITY (Mindanao Examiner / 13 Mar) – Security forces arrested a suspected Abu Sayyaf bomber in a raid before dawn Tuesday in southern Philippines, officials said.
Officials said Ahmad Saludin was captured at around 3 a.m. in his hideout in the remote village of Tambo in Sultan Mastura town in Shariff Kabunsuan province.
Soldiers and policemen recovered from Saludin an anti-rocket rigged to a cellular phone to trigger detonation.
It was unknown whether Saludin has ties with the Indonesian terror group Jemaah Islamiya or the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, previously linked by Philippine authorities to the spate of attacks in the troubled region.
Little was known about Saludin except the military’s claim that he is a member of the Abu Sayyaf group tied to al-Qaeda terror network. (Juan Magtanggol and Juley Reyes)

It is very suspicious that a number of bombs explodes after his escape. It is better for anybody that he is in jail.
