Cimatu says no to Robot terms for surrender

If Abu Sayyaf's Commander Robot wants to surrender, he must do so without conditions, Armed Forces Chief of Staff Gen. Roy Cimatu said yesterday. Cimatu was reacting to reports that the Jolo-based Robot, whose real name is Ghalib Andang, has sent surrender feelers to a National Police Commission adviser. Robot is reportedly fed up with being a fugitive and does not want to end up like Abu Sabaya, believed killed in a sea battle with government troops last week. The NaPolCom adviser on crime prevention and criminal justice, Barbara Anonas, quoted Robot as claiming he had split two years ago from Sabaya.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
