Authorities in the Philippines shot and killed a Malaysian man believed to be a member of the Jemaah Islamiyah after he tried to detonate a bomb in Davao City yesterday, a police official said.
Ronald Dela Rosa, Davao City Police director, identified the slain suspect as Mohammad Noor Fikrie bin Abdul Kahar, a native of Malaysia’s Kedah state. Kahar was shot dead by members of the police’s Special Weapons and Tactics team in front of the Apo View Hotel around 10:30 p.m. after a brief chase, Dela Rosa said in a text message.
