Philippines says bomb suspect caught in Indonesia

MANILA, Oct 6 (Reuters) - An Indonesian Muslim militant suspected in several
bombings on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao last year was
arrested in a mainly Christian city in eastern Indonesia, Philippine police
officials said on Friday.

German Doria, police chief of Mindanao's central region, said he was
informed by counterparts in Indonesia's Manado area, in northern Sulawesi,
about the arrest of Elmer Abram, alias Elmer Emran.

Security officials in the Philippines said Abram was believed to be a member
of Jemaah Islamiah (JI), a Southeast Asian network of Muslim militants
fighting to set up a pan-Islamic state in the region.

"We're awaiting further word from the Indonesian police on how and when the
suspect would be sent back to stand trial in the Philippines," Doria told
reporters, giving credit to growing cooperation between the police forces of
the two countries.

General Hermogenes Esperon, the Philippines' military chief of staff, said
up to 40 JI members have been hiding in the south since 2003, when the main
suspects in the October 2002 bombings on the Indonesian island of Bali fled
to Mindanao.

Esperon said most of the JI members were being sheltered by Abu Sayyaf, a
small but violent group of Philippine militants blamed for the country's
worst terror attack, the 2004 bombing of a ferry near Manila that killed 100
people.

In February 2005, members of Abu Sayyaf and a group of converts to Islam are
accused of cooperating with JI to set off bombs simultaneously in Manila and
two southern cities, General Santos and Davao, killing 14 people.

About 18 Philippine militants, including two in army custody, believed to be
involved in those attacks were sentenced to death by a local court early
this year.
