Boy, 10, among 32 Abus who surrendered

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer (Oct 25): Boy, 10, among 32 Abus who surrendered

Thirty-two members of the Abu Sayyaf terror group surrendered to the military on Monday.

They included a 10-year-old boy, identified only as Tony, who said he could shoot an M4 Carbine assault rifle. Tony surrendered with his elder brother Halid and nine others.

Their faction of 11 was led by Moton Indama, a cousin of Abu Sayyaf leader Furuji Indama.

Moton had about 30 followers but only the 11 surrendered because “they were afraid to join me. They were afraid that after surrendering, we will all be killed,” he said.

Tony, who lost his parents in a military operation, said another older brother opted not to surrender.
