Col. Jose Johnriel Cenabre, 2nd Marine Brigade commander, said the ASG men were nabbed around by 6:30 a.m. by elements of the 11th Special Operations Platoon led by 2nd Lt. Michael A. Loon
He added that Loon's group was conducting law enforcement operations when the two were apprehended.
Seized from the suspects was an M-1 Garand rifle and 10 rounds of ammunition
The two were positively identified by the civilian community as members of the group of ASG sub-leader Juhurim Hussien, the same group believed to be involved in series of kidnappings of civilians in Sulu.
