Alleged al Qaeda member nabbed at NAIA
By RECTO MERCENE Today Reporter Airport officials arrested Wednesday afternoon a suspected al Qaeda member who flew in from Saudi Arabia on board a Philippine Airlines plane. Immigration authorities refused to reveal the man's identity, saying that it might compromise ongoing operations against other alleged terrorists the suspect might reveal. An airport official, however, said the man is 34 years old and holds a Saudi Arabian passport. He said the suspect came from Riyadh aboard flight Philippine Airlines Flight 659. While the man's passport was being checked, his name appeared on the list of blacklisted individuals. Immigration agents immediately arrested the man and brought him to the Immigration headquarters for interrogation. Immigration officials admitted that INTERPOL has given them names and identities of people suspected to be members of terrorist organizations. More than 100 people are blacklisted by the immigration bureau although not all are terrorists. Airport officials have been on high alert for possible terrorist infiltration. It was not yet clear whether the alleged al Qaeda member assumed a different name or if he was with other militants when he arrived in the country. http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/topofthehour.aspx?StoryId=927 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
