From 'Inquirer.net': Philippine government forces arrested an Indonesian suspected to be a Jemaah Islamiya (JI) operative in Banaybanay town in Davao Oriental on Sunday. Mohamad Baehaqi, alias Salman and Latif Tatoh, was bagged by military intelligence agents in the house of Indarat Generoso in the village of Piso, Colonel Benito de Leon, spokesperson of the Army's 10th Infantry Division based in Davao City, said. They also recovered several firearms, bomb-making modules and materials, such as detonating cord, blasting caps and explosives, Inspector De Quincio Pante, town police chief, said.
Baehaqi was traced after authorities received a tip on his whereabouts, said Pante, reading from an Army report. "Based on reports by some residents, the Indonesian has already been a visitor in the area two or three times." De Leon said the Indonesian was a member of the terror network blamed for a string of deadly terror attacks in the region, including the 2003 Bali bombing that killed over 200 tourists, mostly Australians. He said the suspect's hosts, Indarat and his son Mohar, were likewise charged on Tuesday with illegal possession of firearms and explosives at the regional state prosecutor's office in Davao City. The Generoso family denied allegations that they were harboring a terrorist. They said Baehaqi, whom they only knew as Salman, only sought shelter on Saturday night.
