Police have arrested a suspected Abu Sayyaf terrorist militant accused in the 2001 attack on rubber plantation workers in Zamboanga City in the southern Philippines.

Police identified the suspect as Jailani Basirul, who was nabbed in downtown Zamboanga. A police report said Basirul was among those who killed about a dozen workers in Tairan rubber plantation in Lamitan City.

Basirul has several arrest warrants and is now being interrogated by authorities. It was not clear whether the man was plotting an attack or hiding in Zamboanga.
