The lone suspect behind a deadly attack on a casino and shopping complex in Manila was a heavily indebted Filipino gambling addict, police said yesterday, bolstering their claim the assault was not terrorism-related. His immediate family confirmed his identity as Jessie Carlos, a married father of three and former Finance Department employee who owed more than $80,000.
