Southern Command chief, Lt. Gen. Roy Kyamko said Monday that captured Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) leader Ghalib Andang, alias Commander Robot, is being treated by doctors at the 104th Army Brigade headquarters in Jolo, Sulu.
If I only had a brain.... (oh, sorry, I guess that was the scarecrow)
Andang was reportedly wounded in the foot after a brief firefight with the soldiers.
| "You'll never take me alive, coppers! Ow! My foot! Okay, I quit!" |
The 103rd and the 104th brigades stepped up security in Basilan and Sulu even as ASG bandits reportedly tried to rescue Andang Sunday after he was captured by military troops in an encounter in Barangay Panabuan, Indanan, Sulu.
| "Mahmoud, we gots to spring da boss!" |
Armed Forces Chief of Staff Gen. Narciso Abaya flew to Jolo Monday morning to fetch Andang and present him to President Arroyo in Malacañang, the military said.
"A present for you, Madam President!"
"But Narciso, his head's still on!"
"We can take care of that, Madam President." |
Andang, one of ASG’s top leaders, is wanted for kidnappings, including one in 2000 involving some foreigners from the Malaysian resort island of Sipadan. |
