From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 28): Abu Sayyaf man involved in Dos Palmas
kidnapping falls
A suspected member of the Abu Sayyaf Group who carries a P600,000 reward for his
arrest was apprehended on Tuesday in this southern port city by the combined
National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and police operatives.
NBI Regional Director Manuel Almendares on Wednesday reported the suspect was
arrested shortly after 11 a.m. Tuesday inside a shopping mall in downtown
Zamboanga City.
Almendares identified the suspect as Algaber Said alias Talha who was nabbed
for kidnapping with serious illegal detention.
Said, who allegedly serves as “spotter” of the Abu Sayyaf Group, was arrested
when he was sighted inside the shopping mall, Almendares said.
The suspect has been tagged as involved in the June 2001 Lamitan siege and
the Dos Palmas kidnapping in May 2001, Almendares said.
Said is allegedly one of the close supporters of the slain Abu Sayyaf
founding-leader Abdurajak Abubakar Janjalani, he said.
The suspect was transported to the detention facility in Bicutan, Taguig,
where all Abu Sayyaf suspects are detained while undergoing court trial, he
said.
