MANILA (AFP) - The Philippine military said on Friday it had not been able to obtain proof that it killed Singaporean Mohammad Ali, alias Muawiyah, one of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) leaders who had been hiding in the Philippines since the group killed 202 people in a series of bomb attacks on the Indonesian island of Bali in 2002, but insisted the Muawiyah, and the other two had died in a United States (US)-backed airstrike.

Troops were sent to the isolated jungle area where Thursday's bombing took place on the remote southern island of Jolo, but they found no bodies, armed forces spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Arnulfo Burgos told reporters in Manila.

Lt-Col Burgos said the other two senior leaders from the Al Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf and JI networks, as well as 12 slain junior figures, had been taken away by fellow militants and quickly buried as per Muslim custom.

'After the airstrike, the bodies were taken immediately,' Lt-Col Burgos said.
