Government troops have apprehended an ammunition courier of
the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) in the province
of Sulu , a top military
official announced Tuesday.
Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado, Joint Task Group Sulu commander,
identified the arrested ASG ammunition courier as Makin Mukan, 41, a resident
of Barangay Kabuntakas, Patikul, Sulu.
Arrojado said the troops from the Army’s 35th Infantry

Latih, Patikul.
Arrojado said the troops seized from Mukan six rounds of
