Units from the Western Mindanao Command (WESMINCOM) and its
police counterparts have arrested the Abu Sayyaf Group's "Kumander Red
Eye" during law enforcement operations in Naga town, Zamboanga Sibugay
Sunday early morning.
Major Filemon Tan, WESMINCOM spokesperson, said the arrest
of Sehar Muloc, also known as Abner Muloc, took place 1:00 a.m. at Barangay
Kaliantana, of the above-mentioned locality.
Arresting units are troops from Joint Task Force ZAMPELAN
and its police counterparts.
Muloc has direct links to ASG sub-leader Idang Susukan and
is allegedly being utilized by the Sulu-based Abu Sayyaf in many kidnapping
operations in the Zamboanga
Peninsula .
The subject was arrested by the military and police by
virtue of a warrant of arrest for the kidnapping of former Italian priest,
57-year-old Rolando Del Torchio.
The latter was abducted by Muloc's group at his Pizza Resto
Bar last Oct. 7 in Dipolog, Zamboanga Del Norte and handed him over to
Sulu-based ASG.
De Torchio was released last April 8 in Jolo, Sulu and was
found aboard M/V Beatrice.
"The Armed Forces of the Philippines continues to support
the PNP in the intensified conduct of law enforcement operations to expedite
the arrest of lawless elements in the province," Tan said.
