| 2013-12-21 |
| A Taiwanese tourist kidnapped at a fancy island resort off the Malaysian state of Sabah was freed by her captors in the southern Philippine province of Sulu. Chang An Wei was released in Talipao town and eventually recovered by civilians who informed local authorities about the woman, who was later brought to a military hospital in Jolo. It is not known how much ransom was paid to the kidnappers, thought to be members of the Abu Sayyaf. The woman was kidnapped on November 15 by gunmen who also gunned down the victimÂ’s husband in a daring cross-border raid on SabahÂ’s Pom Pom Island and fled towards Pulau Mataking near the Filipino province of Tawi-Tawi. |
