Troops rescue Chinese trader from Abu Sayyaf
[Manila Times] Philippine soldiers in Sulu on Wednesday morning rescued a Chinese trader abducted in Sirawai, Zamboanga del Norte before she could be handed over to the Abu Sayyaf.

Army Brigadier General Arnel de la Vega said, "The rescue operation was the result of continuous intelligence build-up immediately after receiving information on the group’s plan to hand over said kidnapped victim to Sulu-based Abu Sayyaf Group."
