Abu Sayyaf financier busted
2005-03-14
Government agents captured an Afghan-trained terrorist said to be the financier of the Abu Sayyaf bandits in Davao. Lt. Colonel Buenaventura Pascual, chief of the Armed Forces public information office, identified the Abu Sayyaf financier as Masil Ahalul. Pascual said that Ahalul was collared by a team of police and military intelligence agents at around 10 a.m. on Saturday in Davao City by virtue of a warrant of arrest in connection with a criminal case filed against him six-years ago.

Pascual said that Ahalul is a terrorist trained in Afghanistan or "Tablight" and is said to be spreading the word on the al-Qaeda terrorist network in other countries. Ahalul was flown to Manila and is being held at the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces in Camp Aguinaldo, where is undergoing tactical interrogation. Officials did not say what Ahalul was doing in Davao City when intelligence agents arrested him.
