Two JI militants in RP: Military<\/p>\n
PHILIPPINES: Two top Jamaah Islamiyah (JI) militants are still
\nhiding in the southern Philippines and continuing to fund local
\nterrorist activities despite intensified military offensives, the
\narmed forces chief said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Gen. Generoso Senga said government troops were continuing to
\ntrack down Dulmatin and Umar Patek in the southern region of
\nMindanao, where they were believed to be hiding.<\/p>\n
The two JI militants are wanted for their involvement in the
\n2002 bombings on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, which
\nkilled 202 people.<\/p>\n
\"The concentration of the effort is in the intelligence effort
\nso that we can determine their whereabouts, their activities and
\nconduct the appropriate operations,\" Senga said. \"The latest
\nreport I got is they are still in Mindanao.\"<\/p>\n
He added that the reports also indicated that Dulmatin and
\nPatek were still able to solicit money from international
\ncontacts, and used these funds to finance local terrorists such
\nas the notorious Abu Sayyaf rebel group.<\/p>\n
The U.S. has offered a reward of up to US$10 million for the
\ncapture of Dulmatin and up to $1 million for Patek. --DPA<\/p>",
