Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) leader Furuji Indama, who was reported wounded during an air strike conducted by the 15th Strike Wing of the Philippine Air Force last Friday, has been brought to Sulu province by members of the ASG based there.
This is according to former Ungkaya Pukan Mayor Joel Maturan who also said that Indama and six of his followers were wounded during the air strike.
Reports said that Indama, who is considered a high-value target and the No. 2 man of Abu Sayyaf leader Isnilon Hapilon, was being treated for shrapnel wounds. Also brought along were six of Indama’s men who were wounded in the same air strike.
Maturan had also received information that the wounded ASG men belong to the Yakan ethnic tribe, and they were brought to Tuburan, Basilan and Lamitan City for treatment.
The air strike hit the group of ASG sub-leader Ubaib and 37 armed followers who were holding camp then at Sitio Bohe Buug in the village of Baguindian, Tipo-Tipo, Basilan. The air strike killed 10 of the men, including the gunner of a 50-caliber machine gun, a military report said.
Maturan identified the six wounded ASG members who were also brought to Sulu with Indama as: Abu Haysam, Abu Maid, Abu Hattam, Abu Gaber, Abu Muadz and Abu Abugan.
