The three foreigners and Filipina abducted from a resort on Samal Island
on September 21 have been moved to an area in Indanan town, Sulu where other
foreign hostages are being held, and are guarded by even more Abu Sayyaf
gunmen, police intelligence said.
An intelligence report InterAksyon.com was shown said “the
four kidnap victims from Davao del Norte were sighted being kept by their
captors (in the area of) Tubig Maul, Barangay Sawaki, Indanan,” early Thursday
afternoon, October 1.
It is the same area, the report said, where the Abu Sayyaf
have been holding Malaysians Bernard Ghen Ted Fen and Thien Nyuk Fun, who were
snatched from a restaurant in Sandakan, Sabah in May this year, and Korean
Hong Nwi-seong, taken from the town of Roseller T. Lim in Zamboanga
Sibugay in January.
The hostages, said the report, are guarded by around 200 Abu
Sayyaf fighters led by Yasser Igasan, Angah Adji, Alhabsy Misaya, Furuji
Indama, Idang Susukan and Raden Abu while 100 more gunmen, led by sub-leaders
Mohammad Said, Marajan Hajiri and Aldren Bagade and armed with heavy weaponry
including a recoilless rifle, “were seen scattered in (advantageous)
location(s)” along a road leading to the area.
The move to Indanan came just a few days after Norwegian
Kjartan Sekkingstad, Canadians John Ridsdel and Robert Hall, and Hall's
Filipino partner Marites Flor were spotted in the adjacent town of Parang on September 26,
where the military confirmed an outrigger canoe powered by twin engines was
found on the same day.
Intelligence sources also indicated that the Samal hostages
were taken straight to Sulu after they were seized from the Holiday Ocean View
Samal Resort, arriving in Patikul town past noon of September 22.
