Abu Sayyaf bomb expert nabbed in Basilan
Philippine troops arrested an Abu Sayyaf sub-leader and one of his men in Basilan province on Friday, a day after President Rodrigo Duterte took office promising to crush the notorious terrorist group.

Military spokesman Filemon Tan identified the arrested sub-leader as Mudzrih Abih Adjalan, alias Idol, and a man named Yasir. Both were arrested in Ungkaya Pukan, Basilan under a warrant of arrest for kidnapping and serious illegal detention. Tan said Adjalan was also behind the killing of Godofredo Oraw, Jr. and Homer Dela Fuente in Lamitan City on June 25, 2013. He is said to be an expert in manufacturing explosive devices.

Tan said, "[Adjalan] is well-trained in manufacturing improvised explosive devices and is involved in the conduct of surveillance for probable targets of several bombing incidents in Zamboanga City and the cities of Isabela and Lamitan, both in Basilan."

Bomb kills one soldier, injures three in southern Thailand
[Bangkok Post] An Thai army chief warrant officer was killed and a major and two sergeants injured when a bomb exploded under their vehicle on a village road in Narathiwat province on Wednesday morning.

Chief investigator Apichart Dolo said the attack occurred near the entrance to a school in Rangae district. Seven soldiers were leaving the school on two pick-up trucks intending to return to their base. A landmine buried in the road was detonated as one of the trucks went over it.

The blast injured the four soldiers inside the truck. The injured troops were admitted to Rangae Hospital where one of them was later pronounced dead.
