From the Sun Star (May 28): 5 suspected Abu Sayyaf members arrested in Zamboanga, Basilan
Five suspected members of the Abu Sayyaf group were arrested by government security forces in Zamboanga and Basilan on Tuesday.
Arrested at a shopping mall in Zamboanga City were Muktar Adil Ahmin, Nader Sajidol Alan, Nadjal Esmola Jael and Shadat Amilhamja.
Another suspected bandit identified as Arsad Musad Abdurasad was caught Barangay Lawi-Lawi in Lantawan, Basilan, by joint operatives of the Philippine National Police and National Bureau of investigation.
Ahmin, alias Ogis Jakaria, was involved in the abduction of Italian missionaries Fr. Giancarlo Bossi in Zamboanga Sibugay in 2007 and Fr. Michael Sinnott in Pagadian City in 2009.
Ahmin was also involved in the abduction of Maricris Cuartocruz, a nurse, in Zamboanga City in 2010.
Colonel Andrelino Colina, Task Force Zamboanga (TFZ) commander, said Ahmin is facing abduction-related charges with serious illegal detention at a local court in Zamboanga Sibugay province.
Abdurasad, on the other hand, is facing nine counts of murder and abduction cases with serious illegal detention.
Basilan is a stronghold of the Al-Qaida-linked bandits notorious for beheading and kidnapping of foreign tourist and some locals.
