From Malaya Business Insight (May 21): Two Abu Sayyaf bandits fall
GOVERNMENT security forces have captured two Abu Sayyaf bandits in separate operations in Zamboanga City and Sulu on Saturday.
Chief Insp. Helen Galvez, spokesman of the Western Mindanao Police Regional Office, identified one of the bandits arrested in a house in Purok 1B, Barangay Recondo as Hadji Gahis, a resident of Sumisip, Basilan, who was under the leadership of killed terrorist leader Isnilon Hapilon.
Galvez said Gahis was arrested based on a warrant of arrest issued by Judge Leo Principe of the Regional Trial Court Branch 9 for kidnapping and serious illegal detention in connection with the Golden Harvest Plantation kidnapping in 2001.
Hapilon forged an alliance with the Maute terrorist group in the May 2017 attack in Marawi City that prompted President Duterte to declare martial law in the entire Mindanao region which will be in effect until December 31.
In Sulu, combined police operatives arrested another ASG bandit in Serrantes street, Barangay Walled City in Jolo town on Saturday night.
Chief Supt. Graciano Mijares, Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao police regional chief, identified the suspect as Hashim Abtaib aka Abu Imam. Police said Abtaib was involved in the spate of kidnappings by the bandit group.
