The various intelligence arms of the government's security and law enforcement agencies are on Heightened Alert status for possible diversionary attacks by the Abu Sayyaf, as the government continues to pound the terrorist group's lairs in the South, Armed Forces of the Philippines spokesman Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla said Wednesday.
This, Padilla, pointed out, is part of the preparedness posture of the government in the wake of the ongoing intensified pursuit of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) particularly in Sulu, that has exacted a toll of at least 15 soldiers dead, so far. The government said 30 of the terrorists have been slain.
The ASG last week decapitated yet another of its hostages after the ransom demand deadline was not met by the family of the victim.
Padilla, in an interview on radio dzMM Wednesday morning, said all relevant intelligence operatives in the various security and law enforcement units are inter-operating in coordinated mode regarding the situation: "Hindi tayo nagpapahinga. Heightened Alert ang mga intelligence agencies (We are not resting in this.
Intelligence agencies are all on Heightened Alert), sharing information across all units. This has been going on for quite a while, it's part of our standard operating security protocols."
