was meant to reduce the queue of vehicles at the location of emission test. A car did not take too long time to undergo the emission test. Following the emission test, the result would be seen whether the

emission the approprii i was above b th i ate thresholds or standards set. “Tomorrow (Wednesday—Ed), we will conduct similar emission test on Jalan Raya Sesetan,” he said.

MANILA — Philippine authorities captured an al-Qaida-linked bomber suspected in at least six attacks, including a 2002 karaoke bar explosion that killed an American Green Beret and a hotel blast that killed three people, officials said Wednesday. Police and military intelligence officers captured Hussein Ahaddin in a hide-out of the Abu Sayyaf rebel force in the southern city of Zamboanga late Tuesday. Ahaddin, who uses the guerrilla name Abu Tiih, belonged to an urban-based group of Abu Sayyaf fighters behind bombings and extortion, Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. said. Ochoa, who heads the government’s

Anti-terrorism Council, said authorities have panned out in search of Ahaddin’s companions hiding in Zamboanga city, a bustling port city 540 miles (860 kilometers) south of Manila. The Abu Sayyaf was founded on Basilan in the early 1990s as an offshoot of a violent Muslim insurgency that has been raging for decades. U.S.-backed Philippine offensives have weakened the group, which is blacklisted by Washington as a terrorist organization, but it remains a key security threat. Ahaddin has been implicated in six attacks, the latest of which was a powerful blast that killed three people, wounded 27 others and destroyed the Atilano Pension House on Sunday near downtown Zamboanga city, he said.
