Security forces arrested three Abu Sayyaf group members in Palawan on Thursday, a military report on Saturday said.
The report identified the three as Alnaser Sawadjaan, Jardin Hajuli, and Alig Pandah – all from Sulu province.
During police interrogation, the three revealed that their leader, one Muammar Askali, is in Puerto Princesa City for a kidnap mission in time for the Baragatan festival.
Also, the military report said Marines and police personnel on patrol in Sitio Bagong Buhay in barangay Sumbeling in Bataraza town nabbed the three bandits at about 12:40 p.m.
The three, who were brought to the Bataraza police station, yielded a cal.-45 handgun.
Sawadjaan, the report said, is the son of the late Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Jul Asman Sawadjaan who is blamed for the kidnapping of Jordanian journalist Baker Attani three years ago in Sulu.
Askali, on the other hand, masterminded the bombing of a police camp in Sulu last May 29.
Fourteen police personnel were injured in the attack, the military report added.
