Sayyaf militant arrested in Basilan province

Chief Editor November 30, 2017

ZAMBOANGA CITY – Security forces have arrested an alleged Abu Sayyaf militant that the military tagged as a bomber following a tip off from a civilian in Basilan, one of 5 provinces under the restive Muslim autonomous region, officials announced on Thursday.

Officials said Rahim Abdul, alias Aman Kabalu, was nabbed in the village of Kampurnah in Isabela City on Tuesday afternoon. A fragmentation grenade was recovered from Abdul, according to Army Captain Jo-ann Petinglay, a spokeswoman for the Western Mindanao Command.

“Rahim Abdul was arrested in a law enforcement operation launched by the Joint Task Force Basilan and the police in Isabela City. A fragmentation grenade was seized by government forces from Abdul,” she said.

Brigadier General Juvymax Uy, commander of the Joint Task Force Basilan, has confirmed the report and said: “Abdul was positively identified by a civilian, leading to his arrest,” he said.

Abdul is currently being interrogated by the police, he said, adding, the militant has a P1.3-million government reward for his capture.

Officials did not say whether Abdul was involved in bombings in Basilan or in other parts of Mindanao. (Mindanao Examiner)
