Abu Sayyaf Identifies Suicide Bomber
Philippines Islamic terror gang Abu Sayyaf has identified the man they say carried out a suicide attack against a Manila ferry that may have killed as many as 134 people: Suicide Bomber May Have Been on Ferry.
MANILA, Philippines - A man — listed by the Muslim extremist group Abu Sayyaf as one of its suicide bombers — was aboard a ferry carrying 899 people that caught fire last week after an explosion, the coast guard chief said Tuesday.
But Vice Adm. Arturo Gosingan said there was no indication so far that a bomb caused the blaze that gutted the Superferry 14 shortly after it left Manila on Friday. Police dogs checked the ferry before it departed.
One body has been found but at least 134 people remain missing, officials say.
