From the Sun Star-Zamboanga (Sep 16): Abu Sayyaf bandit falls in Basilan
JOINT police and military operatives have arrested a suspected Abu Sayyaf bandit involved in a raid 15 years ago of a plantation in the province of Basilan.
Police Regional Office-Zamboanga Peninsula Director Billy Beltran identified the arrested suspect as Abdul Munab Maani, alias Tanong Handos, 43, a native of Jolo, Sulu.
Beltran said Maani was arrested at a private wharf around 3 p.m., Thursday, September 15, in the village of Baliwasan, west of Zamboanga City.
Maani is facing seven-count charges for kidnapping and serious illegal detention in a court in Isabela City, Basilan.
The case against Maani stemmed on his alleged involvement in the kidnapping of workers at the Golden Harvest Plantation in the village Tairan, Lantawan, Basilan in June 2001.
Beltran said Maani, who is presently residing in Tigtabon Island, has standing warrant of arrest for seven-count kidnapping and serious illegal detention.
Maani denied that he is a member of the Abu Sayyaf Group.
