Six Abu Sayyaf militants nabbed in separate operations

[Yahoo] The Philippine National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) presented to the media on June 11 six Abu Sayyaf militants who were arrested in separate operations last month. The NBI said that the six were arrested in Taguig City, Balanga City in Bataan, and Zamboanga City on May 16 and 20.

NBI spokesman Ferdinand Lavin said, "The six arrested were involved in various terrorist activities, ranging from ambush, kidnap for ransom, bombing in southern Philippines, and recruitment of other members.”

He added that the arrest stemmed from intelligence reports that have led them to the whereabouts of Azmier Maalum in Taguig City. The joint operation nabbed Maalum, along with Amar Assan, Musa Tahil Sampang, Jamil Ibrahim, Yong Aming, and Majuk Tahil Amil.

Maalum has several warrants for eight counts of kidnapping and serious illegal detention of Golden Harvest plantation workers in Basilan in 2001, while Sampang was involved in several bombing incidents also in Basilan.

The NBI said the six had been recruiting members in Metro Manila.
