Abu Sayyaf rebel arrested in Zamboanga City

From the Mindanao Examiner (Jun 3): Abu Sayyaf rebel arrested in Zamboanga City

ZAMBOANGA CITY – Security forces arrested a suspected Abu Sayyaf rebel on Monday shortly after his arrival in Zamboanga City airport from Cebu province, an army commander said.

Col. Andrelino Colina, head of the anti-terror Task Force Zamboanga, said Muktar Ladjaperma was arrested for his involvement in the kidnappings of 6 local missionaries in Sulu province in 2002.

“He is a member of the urban terrorist group of the Abu Sayyaf,” he said, adding authorities are investigating Ladjaperma. 

The Abu Sayyaf is a small, but the most notorious among various rebel groups operating in the country and has been largely blamed for the spate of kidnappings and terrorism in the South.
