Hit the road, Husham
In a followup to yesterday's post about the Iraqi "diplomat" who got a call from the bombers after a terror attack in the Phillipines, the AP is actually reporting (in the Washington Times at least) that Iraqi diplomat is told to go home:
The Philippine government yesterday told an Iraqi diplomat purportedly linked to the Muslim extremist Abu Sayyaf group to leave the country within 48 hours.

The decision to expel Iraqi Second Secretary Husham Hussein came after the government announced Monday it had an intelligence report indicating he received a call from an Abu Sayyaf member shortly after a bombing that killed three persons. Victims of the bombing last year in the southern city of Zamboanga included an American Green Beret.
Don't tell anyone about the radio locator beacon in his luggage!
