Abu Sayyaf suspected behind kidnapping of two Indonesians

[BenarNews] Five gunmen, suspected to be Abu Sayyaf militants, kidnapped two Indonesian fishermen in the waters off Kunak, a small coastal town in the eastern Malaysian state of Sabah, before fleeing toward Tawi-Tawi in the southern Philippines on Saturday.

After destroying the boat's communications equipment and stealing cash and mobile phones, the gunmen left 11 other crewmen unharmed, according to Eastern Sabah Security Command commander Wan Abdul Bari Wan Abdul Khalid.

He said Malaysian authorities were alerted by Philippine officials of a speedboat that they were pursuing near Tawi-Tawi’s Taganak Island.

Philippine military spokesman Filemon Tan said troops were informed by Malaysian authorities that an abduction had been reported at about 7:30 p.m. The abduction occurred near Kunak, 80 miles south of Sandakan, Sabah.

Following Saturday’s kidnapping, Tan said militants were holding 24 people captive – five Malaysians, a Dutch national, a German, a South Korean, four Indonesians, six Vietnamese and six Filipinos.
