Al-Ghozi used two RP passports

PHILIPPINES: Fathur Rohman Al-Ghozi, an Indonesian bombmaker who
fled from a Manila jail in July, used two Philippine passports to
leave and enter the country before his original capture last
year, the government said on Thursday.

The bureau of immigration said it had put the passports on a
watchlist for officers at airports and seaports after it was
informed by the department of foreign affairs that the two
documents had been revoked.

An immigration official, who declined to be identified, said
there had been no attempts to use the passports since al-Ghozi
escaped from a cell at the heavily guarded national police
headquarters on July 14.

Al-Ghozi was arrested by Philippine police in January 2002 and
jailed later that year for possessing explosives and falsifying
documents. --Reuters
