Bali Bomber’s wife caught in Philippines
October 9th, 2006
The horrific bombing that took place in Kuta Bali in 2002, was planned by JI (Jemaah Islamiyah) operative, Dulmatin. His wife was arrested recently on the Philippine island of Jolo.
JI has links to other terrorist groups in Asia, include Abu Sayyaf, located in the southern Philippines. While considered a Catholic country, the Philippines has a large Muslim population on the island of Midanao, and its smaller neighbors. Kidnappings and smallscale bombings have been the modus operandi of terrorists here. The Filipino army has been chasing the Abu Sayyaf group for a while and the capture of Dulmatin’s wife, is a sure sign he is in the area. Great news for the relatives of the Bali Bombing victims. Let’s hope Dulmatin is brought to justice, or meets a sticky end, in the Philippine jungle.
