Government security forces have been placed on alert and to
remain focus in their mission against the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) brigands in
Sulu.
Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado, Joint task Group Sulu commander,
said they have uncovered a plan of the ASG brigands to conduct bombings in
Jolo, the capital town of Sulu
Arrojado said the bombing plan has been initiated by ASG
leader Radulan Sahiron, the oldest among the brigand leaders in the province.
Arrojado said the “hostile plan” is to divert the focus of
the military troops currently conducting focused military operations targeting
Radulan’s group in the hinterlands of Patikul and Talipao towns.
The military are continuously conducting military offensive
against the ASG brigands aimed to neutralize the group in the province of Sulu
Arrojado said that Sahiron has ordered some of his
followers, led by ASG member Namil Ahajari, alias "Gapas," to conduct
bombings in downtown Jolo.
He said the priority targets of the ASG brigands are in the
areas of Kakuyagan village and Serrantes
street
He said the improvised bomb explosion inside a videoke bar
on Thursday was carried out by Roger Saji a companion of Ahajari, who was
tasked by Sahiron to carry out the bombing mission.
No one was either killed or wounded in the explosion at the
videoke bar located in Sitio Basabasa, Barangay Bus-Bus, Jolo that occurred
around 7:35 p.m. Thursday.
The videoke bar, owned by former Vice Mayor Mijan Hasim of
Talipao town, is located adjacent to the Gate 1 of Camp General Teodulfo
Bautista that houses the Joint Task Group Sulu headquarters.
