This event has not been added to any topics.

Police and military intelligence agents arrested yesterday in Marawi City a suspected bomb expert who was implicated in the Rizal Day bombings in Metro Manila in 2000 that killed 12 people.

Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Region Police director Chief Superintendent Bensali Jabarani said Ansar Bernardino Venancio, alias Hasan Venancio, was arrested in his hideout in Marawi City.

Police learned that Venancio is linked to the Indonesia-based Southeast Asia terror group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), which in turn has connections with the al-Qaeda international terror network led by Osama bin Laden.
