One of three suspected terrorists has appeared before the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to clear her name, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said on Tuesday (August 13).
“There were three names floated as potential terrorists from an Asian country planning to enter the Philippines,” Guevarra revealed in response to reports that Sri Lankan suicide bombers were already in the country.
“Only one, a woman, is already here, but has presented herself to the NBI and has disavowed any terrorist connection,” he disclosed. “In any event, the BI’s anti-terror group is on the alert regarding further movements of these persons,” he stated. Guevarra, himself, gave the directive to the NBI to coordinate with other intelligence agencies to verify the alleged entry of ISIS -affiliated terrorists into the country.
