MILF group frees 3 people abducted in Lanao del Sur

From the Philippine News Agency (May 20): MILF group frees 3 people abducted in Lanao del Sur

The members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) have released the three people they abducted two months ago in Lanao del Sur, a military official said Wednesday.

Capt. Ben June Cerbo, Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) acting information officer, said the victims were freed shortly after 12 a.m. Sunday in Barangay Bualan, Balindong, Lanao del Sur.

Cerbo identified the released victims as Omainah Cuno, Jabbar Mimbala and Maisara Mangoranca, who were abducted last March 16 in Barangay Gandamato, Ditsaan Ramain, Lanao del Sur.

Cerbo said the victims were abducted by the group of Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces-Moro Islamic Liberation Front (BIAF-MILF) commander Haji Malik.

He said Malik’s group released the victims following pursuit operations and prior coordination with the peace mechanism of the MILF-Ad Hoc Joint Action Group (MILF-AHJAG) by the Joint Task Force Zampelan.
