Manila Says Al-Ghozi Killed Before Bush Visit

By John O'Callaghan

MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippine military said it killed escaped Indonesian militant Fathur Rohman al-Ghozi on Sunday, eliminating a major security threat just six days before President Bush (news - web sites) visits Manila. "It's confirmed," Lt. Gen. Rodolfo Garcia, vice chief of the armed forces, told reporters.



"I cannot give you any further details. The president will make an announcement tomorrow."

3. Remember the story out of the Philippines a few weeks ago

that there were 200 terrorist snipers descending on Manilla for Bush's visit? (Or were we supposed to have forgotten it?)
