Malaysian terrorist Amin Baco in a file photograph shared by an intelligence source
Intelligence information reaching Manila indicated that a Malaysian terror suspect could be training recruits of the rebel Abu Sayyaf Group in Sulu.
An intelligence officer based at Philippine National Police (PNP) central headquarters in Camp Crame said on condition of anonymity that Amin Baco, who is also know by his nom de guerre "Abu Jihad", apparently sought refuge in the lairs of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) in Sulu after evading capture by law enforcement commandos who carried out "Oplan Exodus" in Mamasapano, Maguindanao last January 25, 2015.
Abu Jihad is believed to have resumed the training of new recruits of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) deep in the jungles of Sulu, a police intelligence source disclosed on Friday.
"He [Abu Jihad] is now in hiding in Sulu and has taken up the training of some newly recruited militants of the ASG in Sulu," the intelligence source said.
He added that the training being supervised by Abu Jihad in Sulu appears to be mostly involved with urban guerilla warfare and hand-to-hand combat.
"In effect, you might say that there are no more ASGs in Sulu, and they are now replaced by an Organized Crime Group of kidnappers," the intelligence source quipped.
The intelligence source shared the suspicion that Abu Jihad's trainee could have been involved in the grenade blast, which could have been a test mission, at Camp Kasim in Jolo, Sulu sometime in May this year. At least 14 policemen were hurt in that incident.
