Terror suspect admits possessing explosives

An Indonesian man who allegedly planned a series of bombings that killed 22 people in the Philippines nearly 16 months ago today pleaded guilty to illegal possession of explosives.

Fathur Al-Ghozi entered the plea in the southern Philippine city of General Santos, where the explosives were found earlier this year. He is believed to be a key leader of the Jemaah Islamiyah, a south east Asian-based group with suspected links to al Qaida.
