Combined military and police forces have captured a
suspected Urban Terrorist Group (UTG) leader of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG)
following a shootout in the nearby town of Sumisip
Col. Eliglen Villaflor, Army’s 4th Special Forces Battalion
commander, identified the captured UTG leader as Imran Daiyong Mijal alias Boh,
who was wounded during the shootout.
Villaflor said the shootout ensued after Mijal “violently
resisted” when they served warrant of arrest against the UTG leader around 5:20
p.m. Tuesday in Barangay Marang, Sumisip.
Villaflor said Mijal has a standing warrant of arrest issued
by the court for the crime of frustrated murder.
Villaflor said that Mijal is known to have participated in
numerous terroristic activities such as bombing, liquidation, kidnapping,
ambush and extortion.
He said the troops who are trained and equipped in Combat
Life Saving (CLS) immediately applied first aid to the arrested UTG leader to
ensure his survivability.
He added Mijal was hit in the right arm during the shootout
that led to his arrest.
He said the troops have recovered from Mijal’s possession an
M-16 Armalite rifle with several rounds of ammunitions, one rifle grenade, and
a caliber .45 pistol with ammunitions.
He attributed the successful arrest of Mijal to the active
participation of concerned citizens in information gathering and their sincere
desire to end lawlessness in this province.
