Philippines: Nine Islamist Converts Arrested
A report from ABS News states that in a combined police and military operation, nine members of a group of converts linked to Jemaah Islamiyah have been arrested this morning.
Hilarion del Rosario Santos III (also known as Ahmed Islam Santos), leader of the Rajah Solaiman Movement (RSM) was taken with eight of his followers in San Jose town, Zamboanga City.
The Rajah Solaiman Movement is comprised of Christians who have converted to Islam, and is thought to have organised a bomb attack upon a bus in Makati City on February 14 last year. Three people were killed in the attack.
The RSM is said to be linked to both Abu Sayyaf and Jemaah Islamiyah. The RSM was earlier said by military sources to be planning terrorist attacks upon Luzon.
Armed Forces spokesman Col. Tristan Kison earlier said the Abu Sayyaf is providing refuge to JI bombers Dulmatin and Umar Patek in Cotabato province. The two are wanted for the deadly October 2002 bombings in Bali that killed more than 200 people.Reuters claims that Hilarion del Rosario Santos III (aka Ahmad Islam Santos, pictured) founded the RSM in the late 1990s after he converted to Islam and attended an Islamist rebel training camp in Mindanao's Lanao province.
"We've got a very big guy," Lieutenant-General Edilberto Adan told reporters and added that weapons, explosives and maps of the capital, Manila, were seized from the hideout.The rebels were apparently asleep at the time of the raid this morning."He's still undergoing tactical interrogation. We believed the group was up to something big during the long holiday," he said, referring to next week's holidays to mark the Roman Catholic All Saints Day and the end of Ramadan for Muslims.
