| Soldiers arrested 4 Abu Sayyaf militants transporting explosives and grenades in the southern Philippine province of Sulu. Officials said the four – Jumli Pulah, Hassan Jubakal, Ingki Abdulah and Bashir Ali – were stopped in the village of Danag in Patikul town, a known stronghold of the group. Military spokesman Chester Ian Ramos said soldiers recovered from the truck 152 liters of ammonium nitrate and three pieces of MK2 fragmentation grenades, including two bottles of TNT and two pieces of blasting caps, and batteries and electrical wire. Military sources say that an Abu Sayyaf informer tipped off authorities about the transport of the explosives. |
