| [GMA] Philippine security forces arrested three Abu Sayyaf militants in Palawan on Thursday, according to a military report released on Saturday. The report identified the three as Alnaser Sawadjaan, Jardin Hajuli, and Alig Pandah – all from Sulu province. While being interrogated, the three revealed that their leader, identified as Muammar Askali, is in Puerto Princesa City on a kidnapping mission at the Baragatan festival. Sawadjaan is the son of the late Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Jul Asman Sawadjaan who is blamed for the kidnapping of Jordanian journalist Baker Attani three years ago in Sulu. Askali masterminded the bombing of a police camp in Sulu. Fourteen police personnel were injured in the attack last May 29. |
