| [Mindanao Examiner] Three construction workers were nabbed briefly by Abu Sayyaf militants in Basilan province. Officials said the three were seized by five militants under Abdulhassan Tabadjanul in Akbar town. The victims were onboard a truck owned by Muktar Muarip's construction firm where the men are employed. It was not known whether Muarip negotiated for the release of his workers. Security forces recovered the trio in the same village where they were taken. Captain Eugene Espino said, "After an hour of pursuing the bandits, the victims were released by their abductors. Subsequently, the victims proceeded to the location of their dump trucks where they were rescued by government troops." |
