MANILA, Philippines—The three alleged foreign terrorists arrested in the country last month planned to bomb a major airport and a military camp in Mindanao, according to a preliminary police report shown to the Inquirer yesterday.

The report said Jordanians Khalil Hasan Al-Alih and Walid Abu Aisem and Indonesian Bae Haki admitted during interrogation that they were involved in plans to bomb Awang airport in Cotabato City as well as the headquarters of the 6th Infantry Division located beside the terminal.

The report was shown to the Inquirer by police sources who spoke on condition of anonymity for lack of any authority to speak on the matter.

The sources said the authorities were tracking the suspects’ funding source as well as other cohorts they may have had.

Police arrested Al-Alih on Feb. 15 at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Aisem and Haki were arrested in Davao between Feb. 15 and 29.

The sources told the Inquirer the three were suspected members of an al-Qaida sleeper cell operating in the country that planned to bomb the American, British and other embassies in Manila.

Haki was reportedly a member of Jemaah Islamiyah, an Indonesia-based terror group with links to the al-Qaida international terror network of Osama bin Laden.

The Philippine National Police, meanwhile, is also on the lookout for a terror suspect who escaped from detention in Singapore three weeks ago, according to a confidential report obtained by the Inquirer.

The report said Singapore police had alerted their counterparts in the Philippines to be on the lookout for Mas Selamat Kastari after they failed to find him in the city-state.

Kastari, 45, is reportedly the Jemaah Islamiyah leader in Singapore. With Nancy Carvajal
