How to be a bomber and get off by paying the right amount, Philippines' $tyle.

 

Police in the Philippines have freed an Egyptian envoy of Sunni Islam's highest seat of learning held for allegedly plotting a Christmas bomb attack, the institution's Grand Imam said on Thursday.

Al-Azhar's Sheikh Mohammed Sayyid Tantawi told Egypt's official MENA news agency that Sheikh Mohammed al-Sayyid Ahmed Mussa had been freed into the care of the Egyptian embassy "until all release procedures are completed."

There was no immediate confirmation from the Philippines.

Mussa, identified by Philippine police as Mohamad Sayed, was arrested on December 18 during a raid on a flat in the Majad Islamic School in the southern city of Cotabato.

An explosive device fashioned from a 60-millimetre mortar round and ball bearings attached to a timing device were recovered from his room.

Philippine police said the Egyptian was captured after surveillance and that intelligence reports suggested he planned to detonate the bomb at an undisclosed location in the city on Christmas Day.

Among the items they said were recovered from his room was a booklet on the organization of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), a rebel group that has been fighting to set up an Islamic state in the southern Philippines.

Egyptian 'bomb plot' Sheikh

freed on bail: Philippines

An Egyptian teacher accused of plotting a Christmas bomb attack in the southern Philippines was freed on bail on Thursday, Filipino police and court officials said.

Sheikh Mohammed al-Sayyid Ahmed Mussa, described by Cairo as an envoy of Sunni Islam's highest seat of learning, posted a 200,000 peso (4,823 US dollar) bond and was released into the custody of the Egyptian embassy, a court clerk here said.

Sheikh Mohammed Sayyid Tantawi, grand imam of the Al-Azhar institution, earlier told Egypt's official MENA news agency in Cairo, Mussa had been freed into the care of the Egyptian embassy until release procedures were completed.

The middle-aged defendant flew to Manila with the Egyptian ambassador, said Chief Superintendent Joel Goltiao.

Mussa, identified by Philippine police as Mohamad Sayed, was arrested on December 18 during a raid on a flat in the Majad Islamic School in this southern city where he was a visiting professor.
