Suspect in Zamboanga airport bombing surrenders at NBI

From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 31): Suspect in Zamboanga airport bombing surrenders at NBI

A suspect in the bombing incident at the Zamboanga City Airport on Aug. 5, 2010, where two people were killed and 28 others injured, including former Sulu Gov. Abdusakur Tan, has surrendered to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).

Addong Salahuddin, alias "Addong Salapuddin," surrendered at the NBI Headquarters on Wednesday afternoon.

It was learned that an outstanding warrant of arrest is pending against Salahuddin which was issued by the Zamboanga City Regional Trial Court (RTC) on May 2, 2011 due to the incident in the said airport.

Salahuddin was temporarily detained at the NBI while there is still no "commitment order" from the Zamboanga City RTC.

According to Salahuddin, who is allegedly a fighter of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), he was bothered by his conscience, hence, he surrendered such that the two victims who died during the incident were like brothers to him.

Salahuddin claimed that he was ordered by a certain "Imam Kasim" to execute the bombing attack, however, he said, the latter also has already died.

The NBI is still verifying the authenticity of the details provided by Salahuddin about the incident.
