CAPTURED Abu Sayyaf leader Ghalib Andang, alias Commander Robot, may reveal all under interrogation, but he remains a prime candidate for the death penalty, a military spokesman said on Friday.
| Unless the people he rats out get to him first... |
âI donât think he can escape the death penalty,â said Lt. Col. Daniel Lucero, the public information chief of the Armed Forces. âThereâs a big possibility that the death penalty would be meted against him for his cases.â
| Doesn't provide much of an incentive to talk, unless we get into the actual mechanics of execution... |
Andang, captured by the military in Indanan, Sulu, on Sunday, has a string of kidnapping and murder charges against him. The government is planning to turn him into a principal witness against government and civilian personalities who benefited from the over P400 million in ransom paid to the Abu Sayyaf in 2001. The military is waiting for Andangâs full recovery before they interrogate him. Andang on Tuesday underwent a two-hour mid-thigh operation that resulted in the amputation of his left leg.
| At least if he runs away he'll be easy to catch... |
