[Mindanao Examiner] Police seized three suspected Abu Sayyaf members believed to be behind a bombing in Zamboanga City in southern Philippines.Police spokesman Dahlan Samuddin said the three men - Marcel Jumadil, Jumdan Dassan, and Al-Shirit Sabdani – were arrested in separate operations in Zamboanga City hours after the blast inside a massage parlor in downtown Zamboanga late Monday.
Samuddin said Jumadil was first nabbed by policemen who saw him fleeing the area shortly after the blast. He said Jumadil broke down during interrogation and admitted his participation in the attack and pointed to Dassan and Sabdani as his companions.
Two people were slightly wounded in the explosion after the improvised explosive device went off in the building, which was also bombed on last month. On November 9, a member of the police bomb squad was injured when an improvised explosive device went off inside a bar there as he and his dog searched for bombs.
