"Who is going to trust intelligence or anything else with the Filipinos now?" asks Abuza. Evidence has mounted recently that JI is continuing to plan bomb attacks from Thailand to Indonesia. Now the organization's master bombmaker is back, rested and ready to roll. The region might pay in lives for the negligence of one Manila prison...
