Combined police and military operatives have arrested two
suspected Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) brigands in this city, the police reported
Wednesday.
The Zamboanga City Police Office (ZCPO) identified the
suspects as a certain Commander Suhod and Abu Haris. Both belong to the
Basilan-based ASG.
The ZCPO reported that they were arrested around 8 a.m.
Wednesday at the local port after they disembarked from a ferry coming from Isabela City
The arrest of the suspects came as the police and military
strengthened the security measures following threats by the ASG brigands to
stage attacks.
The police said the suspects were involved in the kidnapping
of 10 workers at the Golden Harvest Plantation in June 2001 in Barangay Tairan,
Lantawan, Basilan.
The ASG killed two of the workers while the rest were either
released or rescued during military operations.
The ZCPO said the arrested suspects were turned over to the
custody of the Anti-Kidnapping Group (AKG) of the police.
