The law enforcement operations will continue in a bid to
rescue the remaining hostages from the hands of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) in
the provinces of Basilan and Sulu.
This was announced by Lt. Gen. Rustico Guerrero, Western
Mindanao Command (Westmincom) chief, citing the law enforcement operations
against the ASG will continue despite the Christmas holidays.
Guerrero did not give further details except that the troops
are tracking down the ASG in the hinterlands of Basilan and Sulu provinces.
The ASG is believed to be still holding captives a number of
hostages including European birdwatcher Ewold Horn, 54, in the province of Sulu
Horn, who is from Holland ,
was seized together with Lorenzo Vinciguerra, 47, of Switzerland
and tour guide Ivan Sarenas of Davao
City
Sarenas managed to escape on the same day while Vinciguerra
escaped last December 6 in Patikul, Sulu.
After his escape, Vinciguerra disclosed that he and Horn
were transferred to Sulu but were kept captive in separate places.
