Government troops in Sulu pressed their manhunt for Abu
Sayyaf Group leader Radullan Sahiron on Monday after receiving intelligence
information from a concerned citizen that the country’s most wanted terrorist
leader was wounded and hiding in the jungle of Patikul, according to a military
report.
At the same time, the military said the Red Cross chapter in
Jolo also reported hearing that Radullan is nurturing a bullet wound, although
it is not that serious.
Radullan is also wanted by the United States
He was reportedly wounded during a gun battle with pursuing
Army troops in Barangay Buhanginan, Patikul, Sulu last Friday.
In that fighting, at least 25 Abu Sayyaf fighters were
killed and 27 others wounded.
The report also said that aside from Radullan, four of his
nine henchmen were also wounded.
Although the Abu Sayyaf terrorist leader’s wound was not
serious, it has lessened his mobility, the report added.
The civilians in Sulu have expressed their full support to
the ongoing military operation against the terrorist group.
Involved in the operation are the 32nd and 35th Infantry
Battalions of the Philippine Army and a unit of the Philippine Marines.
