Security forces have arrested a suspected Abu Sayyaf
militant tagged as behind numerous murders and kidnappings in southern Philippines
It said Adduri Suari alias Titing Alpha was tracked down in Isabela City
Police linked Suari to the deadly Abu Sayyaf pillage of Ipil
in Zamboanga Sibugay province in 1995 and the brutal killings of civilians in
2001 and soldiers in Basilan in 2007; and kidnappings in the province.
“The suspect was involved in Tairan golden harvest
(plantation) kidnapping incident in 2001; Ipil massacre in 1995 and Al-Barka
massacre in 2007. The subject was positively identified by witnesses and
victims of the Tairan kidnapping incident,” said Superintendent Rogelio
Alabata, the regional police spokesman.
He said Sauri was arrested by joint police and military
forces on July 18, but only announced this on Wednesday due to an ongoing
investigation and follow up operation in Basilan.
Alabata said Basilan Judge Leo Jay Prinsipe also issued a
warrant for Suari’s arrest after security forces tracked him down in his
hideout.
Military operation is still going on in Basilan against the
Abu Sayyaf, but security officials did not release any report on the progress
of the government’s anti-insurgency campaign in the restive province.
