Troops arrest Abu Sayyaf bandit in Zamboanga City

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 16): Troops arrest Abu Sayyaf bandit in Zamboanga City


ZAMBOANGA CITY -- Combined police and military operatives have arrested an Abu Sayyaf member involved in a raid of a plantation in Basilan province 15 years ago.


Chief Supt. Billy Beltran, Police Regional Office-9 (PRO-9) director, identified the arrested bandit 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 in Barangay Baliwasan, this city.

Beltran said Maani, who is presently residing in Tigtabon Island, this city, is facing seven-count charges for kidnapping and serious illegal detention in a court in Isabela City, Basilan.

He said the case against Maani stemmed from his alleged involvement in the kidnapping of workers at the Golden Harvest Plantation in Barangay Tairan, Lantawan, Basilan in June 2001.

He said Maani has standing warrant of arrest for seven-count kidnapping and serious illegal detention.
