Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 31) — CNN Philippines has obtained a photo of "Alias Kamah," tagged as the main suspect behind the deadly bombing of a cathedral in Jolo, Sulu.

Police said Kamah is the brother of a slain Abu Sayyaf member and part of the Ajang Ajang group, which operates under the Abu Sayyaf – a terror group that has pledged allegiance to ISIS.

Speaking to CNN Philippines' The Source on Thursday, Philippine National Police chief Dir. Gen. Oscar Albayalde said Kamah has been a long standing threat to the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral in Jolo.

Authorities raided Kamah's house on Tuesday. They killed suspected Ajang Ajang member Ommal Usop, but Kamah evaded arrest.

The twin blasts in Jolo killed 22 and injured a hundred others.
