[AFP] Suspected Abu Sayyaf rebels have kidnapped the captain and a Filipino crew member of a South Korean cargo ship in the southern Philippines.
Ten people, who reportedly identified themselves as Abu Sayyaf militants, boarded the cargo ship on Thursday and abducted its Korean captain and a local crewman. Military spokesman Filemon Tan said, "They identified themselves as Abu Sayyaf group members... We're looking into this."
The ship, a heavy load carrier called

Tan said the abduction marked the first time that kidnappers in the area had targeted a large ship.

He speaks pretty slowly so click the gear icon, select speed, and then 1.5 or 2. It gets it done faster and you can still understand him perfectly. Continued on Page 47
