Abu Sayyaf mid-level leader rearrested

From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 26): Abu Sayyaf mid-level leader rearrested

A detained suspected mid-level leader of the Abu Sayyaf Group was rearrested for his involvement in another heinous crime, a police official disclosed. Arrested was suspected Abu Sayyaf mid-level Benzar Indama alias Ajid Jalil, who had been detained at Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP)-administered Zamboanga City Reformatory Center (ZCRC), according to Police Station 6 commander Chief Insp. Elmer Acuña. Acuña said the Police Station 6 intelligence operatives led by Senior Police Officer 3 Amado Mirasol, Jr. served the warrant of arrest for kidnapping and serious illegal detention with ransom on Indama at around 10 a.m. Friday. The warrant of arrest with no bail recommended was issued by Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 16 Judge Tibing Asaali for his alleged involvement in the kidnapping of a Zamboangueña nurse, Preciosa Feliciano, in July 2008, according to Acuña. The Abu Sayyaf bandits have released Feliciano on Nov. 7, 2008 in Basilan province. Indama had been detained at the ZCRC for his alleged involvement in the April 13, 2010 bombings in Isabela City, Basilan that killed 12 people and wounded 15 others. Indama is the brother of Basilan-based Abu Sayyaf leader Furuji Indama, who is still at large. Last November 17, the police have arrested Indama’s live-in partner, Amira Hakim alias Nah, also inside the compound of the ZCRC. Hakim was arrested on the strength of a warrant of arrest issued by Asaali for her alleged involvement in the kidnapping of a Zamboangueña nurse. Both Indama and Hakim are detained at the ZCRC awaiting court trial, Acuña said.
