Abu Sayyaf names 'ferry bomber' (Al-Qaeda )

[rodbarnett]

MANILA - The Al-Qaeda linked Abu Sayyaf group yesterday released the name of a person who it said was the suicide bomber who had caused the explosion of a ferry off the Philippine capital early on Friday.

The name was proof that the incident which left one dead and 134 others still missing was not an accident but a terrorist attack, the Abu Sayyaf said

Khaddafy Janjalani, the chief of the terrorist group, also gave details of the security and layout of the 10,192-ton ferry as further proof that the group was behind the incident.

Khaddafy said the man who blew himself up was one Arnulfo Alvarado, a 33-year-old whose real name was Abu Muadz
