Department of Justice (MANILA BULLETIN)
The office of Senior Assistant State Prosecutor Olive Torrevillas, who has been assigned to handle the case, started the preliminary investigation last April 24.
The four suspected ASG members are accused of illegal possession of explosives in violation of Republic Act 9516.
Torrevillas said Jainab Ibrahim, his wife Khadeeeja Tawasil Jainal, and Fatma Musa Narimen have filed their counter-affidavits in response to the accusations against them.
One of the respondents, Abdurrafi Jalas Danial, was given until May 6 to submit her counter-affidavit.
The four were arrested by authorities last April 16 in Barangay Talabaan, Zamboanga City. Found in their possession were two fragmentation grenades, a nine-volt battery with a switch, an eco bag containing white granules suspected to be ammonium nitrate, a timer with wire, several wires with alligator clip, concrete nails, two non-electric blasting caps with a safety cover, and, identification cards.
Following their arrest, the Major Crimes Investigation Unit of the Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation Group (PNP-CIDG) brought the four to the DOJ in Manila for inquest the following day.
During the proceedings, the suspects decided to undergo preliminary investigation and signed a waiver of the provisions of Article 125 of the Revised Penal Code that penalizes delay in the delivery of a detained person to the proper judicial authorities.
Police disclosed that the suspects are followers of ASG sub-leader Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan and are being utilized by the ASG for their financial transactions, procurement, and transportation of firearms and explosives, and the facilitation of recruitment and travel of foreign fighters to the Philippines.
