| 2014-10-15 |
| Security forces arrested a suspected Abu Sayyaf rebel and seized several blasting caps from his house on an island off Zamboanga City in southern Philippines. Senior Inspector Dahlan Samuddin said policemen backed by soldiers arrested the Abdulhalik Ajibon on Sacol Island on October 13. He said the police seized five blasting caps in the Ajibon's house of Ajibon, who is currently being investigated by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG). The CIDG said Ajibon has a relative who is also a member of the Abu Sayyaf group in nearby Basilan province. Ajibon's wife denied the accusation against him. She said, "My husband is neither a member nor a supporter of the Abu Sayyaf. He just takes care of our small (convenience) store," adding the blasting caps found by the police were just her child's toys. |
