DNA tests on Bali bomb suspect
The US state department had offered $10m for
Dulmatin's capture
The Philippines military says it believes it has found
the body of a key suspect in the 2002 Bali bombings,
and DNA tests are being conducted to ascertain the
identity of the remains.
Major General Benjamin Dolorfino said the body of
Ammar Usman, also known as Dulmatin, was found in a
shallow grave on the island of Tawi-Tawi after a
tip-off from an informant.
"As of now, we are conducting DNA test to confirm if
it is really his body," he said on Tuesday.
Dulmatin, a member of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), the
al-Qaeda-linked group blamed for a series of bombings
across South-East Asia, was accused of masterminding
the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings which killed 202
people.
The US state department has offered a $10m reward for
information leading to Dulmatin's capture under its
"Rewards for Justice" programme.
In 2003, Dulmatin was thought to have fled to the
southern Philippines where he was reportedly wounded
during a clash with Philippine troops in late January
this year.
The gunfight also killed a top leader of the Abu
Sayyaf, a group based in the southern Philippines
accused of being behind a series of bombings and
kidnappings.
'Big blow'

Dolorfino said the gunshot wounds in the corpse's
head, chest and right foot were consistent with
earlier accounts of Dulmatin's injuries in the
gunfight.
He said a positive DNA result would be "a big blow" to
JI and the Abu Sayyaf.
Philippine intelligence officials say they believe the
Abu Sayyaf is providing protection for JI members in
return for bomb-making expertise and training.
Major Eugene Batara, the spokesman of military forces
in the south, said the body has been taken to
Zamboanga and will be given a "decent burial" once
enough samples are taken.
DNA tests are expected to take about up to two weeks
before any result on the corpse's identity is known.
Philippine forensics experts have requested help from
the US FBI to carry out the tests.
Rear Admiral Emilio Marayag, head of naval forces in
the region, said experts will compare samples from
Dulmatin's body with those taken from his family.
Dulmatin's wife and six children were separately
detained in the Philippine province of Mindanao in
2006 before being deported to Indonesia last year.
