Police arrested on Friday a notorious Abu Sayyaf terrorist linked to the killing of a police officer.
Benhajar Salapuddin Alan was arrested at the port area here. He was on the run after he allegedly killed a certain Lt. Sali Salim during an anti-drug operation in Tagbak village in Indanan town last January 12.
Alan, allegedly a member of a gun-for-hire syndicate operating in Sulu and Zamboanga, is also implicated in several murder cases, including the murder of a certain Joemer Hashim Jawadin on Dec. 7, 2015.
It was unclear how Alan managed to flee Sulu and hid in Zamboanga following the killing of Salim, head of the Police Provincial Drug Enforcement Unit.
Alan was a follower of slain Abu Sayyaf leader Albader Parad. He used to be the ransom negotiator of the group.
“The successful arrest of Abu Sayyaf member Alan was the result of the intelligence-driven operation efforts made by Sulu Police Provincial Office in coordination with other police intelligence units, Armed Forces of the Philippines and the community,” said Brig. Gen. Marni Marcos Jr., chief of the police force of the Bangsamoro Region in Muslim Mindanao.
