Mark Jackson in a bomb attack Wednesday in Zamboanga City will further strengthen renewed ties between the Philippines and the United States, President Arroyo said yesterday. This developed as police tagged a close aide of Abu Sayyaf chieftain Khadaffy Janjalani as a possible perpetrator of the bombing. In a statement aired by radio stations, the President paid tribute to Jackson who was killed in the blast near a military ammunition depot with two Filipino civilians. "His death should be made a symbol so that the Philippines and the United States will unite and cooperate in this fight (against terrorism)," Mrs. Arroyo said. She also cited US President George Bush's call to the US Congress to boost assistance to the Philippine military "for the fight against terrorists in our country as part of our global war on terrorism." "We would not stop until we have given justice to the victims of this incident," the President said. A 12-member team of US criminologists, consisting of agents from Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the army and the navy, has stepped into the probe of the bomb attack in close coordination with their local counterparts. Philippine military and police officials have tagged the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group as the likely perpetrators of the bomb attack which also left over 20 people wounded, among them another American soldier, six Filipino troopers and one policeman. Washington has listed the Abu Sayyaf as an international terrorist group maintaining links with the al Qaeda network of Osama bin Laden. Initial investigations showed that the nail-laden home-made bomb was rigged to a motorcycle parked in front of a karaoke bar in Malagutay district in Zamboanga. The driver of the motorcycle was killed in the blast, but authorities were cautious in linking him to the attack. Police sources said they were closing in on a suspect who planned the bombing, but refused to give further details. "For now I could not (categorically) conclude that it was an al Qaeda-supervised operation, but an investigation on the incident is leading us to the Abu Sayyaf-al Qaeda tie-up," a ranking police official said. The source said probers, through several witnesses, have identified one of Janjalanis aides as among the people seen at the blast site minutes before the explosion. He said the witnesses saw the suspect drive and park the bomb-laden motorcycle in front of the karaoke bar as the two Americans were coming out of the establishment. The Abu Sayyaf, notorious for kidnapping foreigners and Christians and demanding huge ransoms, has previously staged several bomb attacks in Mindanao and Metro Manila. More than 1,000 US Special Forces were pulled out from Mindanao last July after completing a six-month joint military training exercise with Filipino troops, marked by relentless pursuit of the Abu Sayyaf bandits who were holding three hostages consisting of American missionary couple Martin and Gracia Burnham and Filipino nurse Edibora Yap. Martin and Yap were killed during a rescue operation, while Gracia was safely recovered although seriously wounded. Armed Muslim groups linked to the Abu Sayyaf are still holding three Indonesian seamen and four Filipino Christian preachers hostage in the jungles of Jolo. About 600 US Special Forces are scheduled to arrive in the Philippines later this month for another joint military exercises. Jackson was part of a handful of US soldiers left behind to complete unfinished development projects in Basilan in connection with a social outreach component of the six-month maneuvers dubbed Balikatan 02-1. --__--__-- Message: 6 From: Ray Terry To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net (Eskrima) Date: Sun, 6 Oct 2002 14:44:40 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Eskrima] Protectors as predators Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Cebu Daily News Editorial October 7, 2002 Protectors as predators There's a problem in Sulu that could develop into a pattern that could, in turn, pose more problems to authorities. This is the involvement of soldiersbe they regulars in the military or the so-called integrees from the Moro National Liberation Frontin kidnappings. After their release from their kidnappers last week, GMA reporter Carlo Lorenzo and his cameraman Gilbert Ordiales told authorities that those who abducted them were soldiers aided by a woman who is a known military asset. The revelation by the GMA journalists is strikingly similar to the one made by journalist Arlyn dela Cruz early this year, when she disclosed that those who kidnapped her were MNLF integrees. In the case of Lorenzo and Ordiales, they claim that their supposed escorts were the ones who robbed and kidnapped them. That the victims in the two instances were journalists is probably not a coincidence. After all, only journalists who have their eyes set on a scoop would be so foolish as to enter the lair of known bandits. Moreover, journalists going on coverage do not exactly set out penniless; in the case of TV reporters, their equipment alone are a small treasure. The fates of the GMA journalists and dela Cruz indicate a lot of what is wrong in Sulu, chief of which is the absence of law and order. Of course, we knew that all along but were fairly sure not everybody knew that the perpetrators of the crimes there would have connections, in more ways than one, to those who are supposed to keep law and order. Wed like to think that the soldiers there were probably just bored to death, hence the need for a little excitement. That, however, might be inconsistent with the one thing that the Abu Sayyafs existence has proven: that there are elements within the military establishment who are in cahoots with the bandits not only in Basilan but in Sulu and elsewhere. Then again, you scan the pages of the papers nowadays and you will invariably find reports of a soldier or a cop being identified as the ringleader of some criminal syndicate. It seems that in this country, behind every criminal syndicate is a cop or a soldier. This can only mean that the problem of kidnapping in Sulu perpetrated by government people wont be eliminated that quickly. It would take a hell of a lot of cleansing within the militarys ranks to solve this problem. In the meantime, journalists could be hard pressed now to cover Sulu and other conflict areas, to determine what goes on in those places, knowing that they may not be safe in the hands of people who are supposed to protect them. Then again, that may just be the point of all this. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ Eskrima mailing list Eskrima@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/eskrima http://eskrima-fma.net Old digest issues are available via ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com.
