Authorities presented to the media on Thursday the two members of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), who were arrested earlier in Zamboanga City.
Harub Jaljalism alias Indal, 45, and Pinky Ani Hadjinulla, 37, were nabbed on Sunday by virtue of an arrest warrant for multiple counts of kidnapping and serious illegal detention issued by the Basilan Regional Trial Court (RTC), in connection with the Golden Harvest Plantation kidnapping incident in June 2001.
The NBI said that Indal, who was arrested in a canteen in Sta. Catalina, Zamboanga City, has received bomb-making training for the Radullan Sahiron faction of the ASG and has reportedly operated in Sulu, Basilan and Tawi-Tawi.
He is the brother of ASG leader Isjanir Saccam Aminudin alias Abu Fatima. He also escorted international terrorist Abdul Patta Escalon to Tuburan, Basilan, where the latter distributed uniforms and war fighting equipment to extremists.
Hadjinulla, who was arrested in a shopping mall in Zamboanga City, was positively identified as one of the abductors in the Golden Harvest incident.
Out of the 15 workers of the plantation who were abducted, five were beheaded while 10 others either escaped or were rescued by government forces.
