Raid on Abu Sayyaf hideout, three captured
 [Mindanao Examiner] Philippine marines raided a suspected Abu Sayyaf hideout on Thursday and captured three people and three speedboats in a daring operation near the Sabah border in the southern Philippine province of Tawi-Tawi. A shotgun and ammunition were also taken from the men, who are being interrogated to determine if they were involved in cross-border kidnappings.The capture of the trio coincided with the arrest late Thursday afternoon of an Abu Sayyaf militant – Bads Adjam, alias Abu Jihad – in Zamboanga City. Adjam has been linked to the 2002 kidnappings of six Jehovah’s Witnesses in Patikul town in Sulu province and 21 mostly European holidaymakers in Sipadan Island off Sabah in 2000.
