Aussies hunting terrorists
By Lincoln Wright
09oct05
AUSTRALIAN agents and SAS troops have joined the hunt for senior terrorists in the Philippines.
Australian agents are co-operating with Filipino soldiers in the search for Jemaah Islamiah figures, a former ASIO agent told the Sunday Herald Sun.
The two JI figures suspected of being behind the Bali blasts, Dr Azahari Husin and Noordin Top, are believed to have returned to Indonesia from the Philippines to take part in last week's attacks.
But Australian agents are searching for another bomb maker, Dulmatin, who remains in the Philippines - and they will be waiting should Top and Husin return.
The former ASIO agent said capturing Husin and Top had become a priority for the region's intelligence chiefs.
"The SAS and ASIS have been on the ground in the Philippines with US Special Forces and local commandos looking for these guys," the source said.
"They are public enemies one and two. They were behind both Bali bombings and the attacks on the Marriott Hotel and our embassy.
"We have people there with the Americans and Filipinos who are hunting Husin and Top. Our guys are serious people. They are not there to be observers."
An Indonesian source said Husin, JI's chief bomb maker, was thought to have been in Bali last Saturday when three suicide bombers killed 22 people. The source said yesterday: "Husin likes to be in the vicinity of the bombs to ensure everything goes to plan and to watch his handiwork. He has done that in the past and it's highly possible he has done that this time."
Indonesian police are intensifying their efforts to capture Husin, 48, and Top, 35. The pair have been implicated in the first Bali bombings in October 2002, which killed 202 people, and blasts at the J.W. Marriott Hotel and the Australian Embassy in Jakarta.
Husin studied engineering at Adelaide University and in Britain. His nickname is "Demolition Man". He is an associate of Osama bin Laden and has strong links to al-Qaida.

I truly wish that either the British, Australian or US Special Forces could get their hands on al-Zawahiri and perhaps stop some of this terror activity

Al-Qaida tells terror chief to kill people less brutally (Don't Behead - just shoot?)

Al-Qaida has urged its commander in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, to shoot rather than behead hostages because brutal executions alienate the Muslim world, according to American officials.
Ayman al-Zawahiri, the Islamist group's second-in-command, allegedly told his colleague that a bullet was as deadly as a knife and would not repulse so many potential supporters.
The advice was included in a 6,000-word letter intercepted by American forces in Iraq in July. Excerpts were made public this week after the Bush administration learned that US television networks had obtained a partial description of the contents.
