MILF member arrested in Zamboanga Sibugay province

From the Mindanao Examiner BlogSpot site (Nov 15): MILF member arrested in Zamboanga Sibugay province

Police forces arrested a member of the former rebel group Moro Islamic Liberation Front tagged as behind a string of murder cases and kidnappings in southern Philippines, officials said Friday.

Inspector Dahlan Samuddin, a regional police spokesman, said Anjang Abbas was arrested in the town of Talusan in Zamboanga Sibugay province after police tracked down his hideout.

He said Abbas is one of the most wanted criminal in western Mindanao because of the huge number of cases against him.

“He is a rogue MILF member and engaged in several illegal activities such as carnapping, robbery, extortion and kidnapping, and is a known gun-for-hire,” Samuddin said.

He said Abbas is currently being investigated by the police. There was no immediate statement from the MILF about the arrest of Abbas.
