Alleged Abu Sayyaf member nabbed in Zamboanga

From ABS-CBN (May 4): Alleged Abu Sayyaf member nabbed in Zamboanga

An alleged member of the Abu Sayyaf Group was arrested at a public market in Zamboanga City on Sunday.

Harijin Jinny alias Kim, 36, was arrested while on duty as security guard in a store at Mercado Street, Zamboanga City.

The arrest was initiated by joint elements of the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

Authorities said "Kim" has an outstanding warrant of arrest in Pasig for the crime of kidnapping and serious illegal detention with ransom.

He was also linked to the kidnapping of members of the Jehovah's Witnesses in 2002 and 2003 in Sulu.

In an interview, Jinny denied the allegations, saying it could have been his brother-in-law who the authorities are looking for.

He also denied having been to Sulu province, where the kidnapping took place more than 10 years ago.
