From the Manila Bulletin (Jun 27): ASG kidnaps merchant’s daughter in Tawi-Tawi
A seven-year old daughter of a local merchant in Tandubas, Tawi-Tawi was reportedly abducted by suspected members of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), Monday night, according to a military report.
The report said the victim, a resident of sitio Pinang in the village of Himbah in Tandubas town was kidnapped at around 9:30 p.m. Monday from her home by seven armed men, believed to be ASG members, and whisked away onboard a green “jungkung”, or water craft that was docked in a nearby coastal area.
It added that the armed men pretended to buy gasoline from the victim’s father Rahis Asta to refuel their “jungkung”.
The young victim was then playing when the suspects snatched her.
Rahis was still able to take out his weapon and fired several shots at the suspects but failed to hit any of them.
However, as an exchange of gunfire also ensued, his wife Rahsa Malyun was hit in the leg.
The suspects were able to successfully take the victim with them on their “jungkung” and fled towards the direction of Sulu.
Rahsa Malyn was immediately brought to Sapa-Sapa town for treatment.
