| [Rappler] In a span of 3 days, government forces in Mindanao “neutralized” two Abu Sayyaf militants. Joint Task Force Tawi-Tawi and provincial police gunned down Ibno Moro, an Abu Sayyaf rebel and kidnapper, on Saturday morning. According to the Western Mindanao Command, Moro is a former member of the late Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Jul Asman Sawadjaan. He had a standing arrest warrant for murder. Moro was on the Tawi-Tawi most-wanted police list. He was wanted for a 1989 massacre in Bongao, the 2004 kidnapping of Sibuto Mayor Kuyoh Pajiji, the kidnapping of Alvin Chua in 2002, and the 2004 murder of Rodrigo Alejandro Sr and his son in Panglima Sugala. Days earlier, Joint Task Force Zamboanga and Zamboanga City police arrested Abu Sayyaf militant Abdulmubin Kudalat Salamuddin, alias “Mubin”, during an operation in Barangay Guiwan, Zamboanga City the evening of July 13. Salamuddin was suspected in the 2002 Sidapan kidnapping and was a follower of Abu Sayyaf leader Radullan Sahiron. He was also supposedly trained by Jema'ah Islamiyah member Amin Bacho to create improvised explosive devices and landmines. According to Joint Task Force Zamboanga commander Colonel Leonel Nicolas, Salamuddin was working as a security guard in a mall in the city at the time of his arrest. |
