2 Jordanian nationals linked to bomb plot to be deported Friday


MANILA, Philippines - The Bureau of Immigration is set to deport Friday night the two Jordanian nationals suspected of plotting to bomb several embassies in the Philippine capital, including the US Embassy in Manila. Immigration Commissioner Marcelino Libanan identified the deported Jordanians as Khalil Kh. Al-Ali and Walid Abu Aisheh. Both were expelled pursuant to a summary deportation order that the BI board of commissioners issued against them last March 13 for violating Philippine immigration laws. "They were also placed in our immigration blacklist, hence they are now banned from re-entering the Philippines for being undesirable aliens," Libanan said. BI records showed that Al-Ali was ordered deported for working in the country without a valid permit while Abu Aisheh was found to be an overstaying and undocumented alien. They were arrested separately in Manila and Pasay on February 27 by joint operatives of the Immigration, Philippine Army and the Philippine National Police. Police and Army intelligence sources have alleged that the Jordanian nationals were involved in plots to bomb several embassies in Manila, including the United States, Australia, United Kingdom and Israel. - GMANews.TV
