| Two suspected Abu Sayyaf agents were arrested Sunday and Monday in connection with bomb attacks that killed 15 people in the southern Philippines in April. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on Wednesday urged more arrests and said the Abu Sayyaf was on the run. On Wednesday, police presented the newly arrested bombing suspects - Abdulbasit Usman and Moamar Timbao Esmael - to President Arroyo at the Malacanang presidential palace. "No compromise, no quarter given. Our war against terrorism is pushing our targets up against the wall," Arroyo said in a statement she read as the two men, handcuffed and wearing orange shirts, stood beside military chief of staff Gen. Roy Cimatu. Bet their Moms were so proud...! |
