Omani citizen questioned in Manila

An Omani citizen, who filmed the U.S. embassy in Manila earlier this week, was on one of the hijacked planes used for attacking the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, officials said today.

The suspect was among three Omanis questioned by the police in Manila

after they were seen filming the embassy on September 8, Presidential Spokesman Rigoberto Tigalo said.

They were apparently released after interrogation.

Tigalo did not disclose the suspect's name but said, "It appeared in the

flight manifest of one of the hijacked planes in the United States."
