Abu Sayyaf bandit falls in Zamboanga City

From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 15): Abu Sayyaf bandit falls in Zamboanga City

Operatives of the government’s Task Force Sanglahi have arrested an Abu Sayyaf bandit with a P600,000 reward for his arrest in this southern port city, the police reported Friday.

Arrested was Jailani Basirul, alias Bas and Angkit, who is facing a string of cases for kidnapping and serious illegal detention in two courts in Basilan province, the police said.

Basirul was arrested around 7:10 a.m. Friday near the City Hall along Valderoza Street, this city.

It was not made known what Basirul was doing along Valderoza Street.

He was arrested on the strength of warrants of arrest issued by the Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branches 1 and 2 of Basilan province, the police said.

The cases against Basirul stemmed from his alleged participation in the kidnapping of six workers at the Golden Harvest Plantation in 2001 in Barangay Tairan, Lantawan, Basilan.

Two of the six workers were beheaded while the rest were either freed or have escaped during military pursuit operation.
