MANILA, July 15: The Philippines government announced on Tuesday a bounty for an Indonesian operative of the Jemaah Islamiyah group who escaped from police headquarters on Monday.

Interior Secretary Jose Lina said the government was offering five million pesos (94,300 US dollars) for any information leading to the re-arrest of Fathur Rohman Al-Ghozi, who escaped along with two other suspects. The escape was an embarrassment for the government and a major setback to the Philippines’ campaign against terrorism, analysts noted.—dpa
