A COMBINED police and military operations foiled a bombing plot of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) as they have arrested three ASG members around 3:20 a.m. Friday, September 9 at a rented house in the village Pasonanca, north of Zamboanga City.
Chief Superintendent Billy Beltran, Police Regional Office-Zamboanga Peninsula (Western Mindanao) identified the arrested suspects as Jamar Musa, 41; Omar Kumbing, 36; and, Ahmad Tandih, 33.
Beltran said the suspects were tasked to conduct bombing operation in Zamboanga City as monitored by the intelligence community since Sunday, September 4.
Beltran added the suspects were reportedly followers of the Ajang-Ajang Group led by Ben Saudi, one of the sub-leaders of the ASG based in Sulu.
The police confiscated a caliber .38 revolver with six live ammunition, two fragmentation grenades, and two mobile phones.
The arrest of the suspects was the result of the intensified law enforcement operation against the ASG members who continued to seek terror in the region, according to Beltran.
The government troops are continuously pursuing the ASG brigands in the province of Sulu aimed to rescue the remaining hostages.
The ASG is still holding hostage more than 10 people, including seven foreigners, in the hinterlands of Sulu.
