Malaysian terrorist captured in Basilan
[PhilStar] The Philippine military has confirmed that a Malaysian terrorist aiding the Abu Sayyaf was arrested recently. Col. Cirilo Donato said the Malaysian militant was captured early this month at the port of Maluso town while trying to sneak back into Malaysia.

Donato did not name the suspect, who is in the custody of military intelligence. He said the suspect was tracked down with tips from civilians who saw him in a former Abu Sayyaf camp in Barangay Baguindan, Tipo-Tipo that the military captured in August. He was reportedly armed and bearing Daesh's ‘shahada’ flag.

Donato said, "When he was arrested, it seemed he was about to leave the country because he was seen in the area where there were motorboats plying the southern backdoor in Maluso."

He said the military is checking if the suspect may have been training the Abu Sayyaf in bomb-making because he was caught with materials for improvised explosive devices.

The military is attempting to verify the reported presence of two Saudi nationals believed to be hiding with the Abu Sayyaf in Basilan. Donato said there are persistent reports about the two but no solid evidence.

Meanwhile, military officials believe senior Abu Sayyaf leader Isnilon Hapilon is running out of hiding places in Basilan after 32 Abu Sayyaf militants surrendered to authorities. Hapilon, who is the remaining leader of the four most notorious Abu Sayyaf chiefs wanted by the U.S. government for kidnapping and killing of American citizens, has remained elusive since 2000.
