"The Philippines' Justice Department recently released a two-page memorandum for immigration supervisors, warning that al-Qaeda operatives may be attempting to infiltrate the country using forged Indian passports (Daily Tribune, November 25). The memorandum, drafted by Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez, orders immigration officials to "strictly monitor and conduct surveillance and profiling of all Pakistanis and Afghans, as well as Indians." Moreover, the decree warns officials to scrutinize all visitors carrying Indian passports. According to Gonzalez, "Some Pakistanis and Afghans who are suspected emissaries of bin Laden also make use of this modus operandi by using fake Indian passports in entering the country." Gonzalez directed officials to "secure all airline passengers' manifests, which must be confirmed and cross-checked by the official BID encoded arrival list" (Manila Standard Today, November 25-26). The Philippines faces a number of threats from terrorist organizations, including those from Jemaah Islamiya." [Brief]
