Deputy Director General Felipe Rojas Jr., PNP deputy chief for Operations, on Thursday said that the PNP has formed tracker teams to catch Nur Misuari, founder of the Moro National Liberation Front, a group hat went on a three-week long stand-off with government troops in
According to Rojas, five teams composed of seven men each, were created to look for Misuari who is facing rebellion charges, among others.
He added that the teams were created after Judge Eric Elumba, Branch 13 of Zamboanga City Regional Trial Court issued warrants for the arrest of Misuari and MNLF commanders Habier Malik, Assamin Hussin and Bas Akri, and several others.
Rojas said Misuari was last seen in Talipao, Sulu, but is moving from place to place as even angry relatives of killed MNLF members were also looking for him.
He said reward money will definitely be offered for information leading to Misuari’s arrest, but said authorities were still deliberating on how much will be offered.
As to Malik's status, Rojas said they have yet to confirm his status but they have information that some relatives of Malik in Jolo allegedly mourned for possible death.
The stand-off started last September 9 after the MNLF rebels attempted to hoist their flag at the City Hall to declare their independence.
The stand-off ended after 21 days, and took the lives of over 200 persons and displaced more than 100,000.
