	Sun.Star Zamboanga - Bombings trademark of Indon terror suspect?
		THREE homemade bombs that exploded last week in Cotabato, including one that killed six people, were set off by mobile phones, a sign that a police official believed points to Dulmatin, one of Asia's most wanted terror suspects.
		A fourth unexploded bomb, made of two 81 mm mortar rounds attached to a Nokia mobile phone, was found Wednesday near a public plaza in Makilala town, site of the explosion that killed six people and wounded 29 the night before, police said.
		While investigations are still going on, another bomb ripped through the police compound in Jolo, Sulu province, where an ongoing military operation is believed to later lead to Dulmatin and his group, the Indonesian-based Jemaah Islamiyah, which has been blamed for some of the region's worst terrorist strikes.
