Alleged member of the extremist group Abu Sayyaf Abdul
Jandul was arrested by Philippine authorities in Basilan Island yesterday.
Jandul who teaches Arabic in an Islamic school in the area
had a bounty of Php 350, 000 on his head for his role in the abduction of 29
people including Claretian priest Rhoel Gallardo in March of 2000.
The police report states that most of the teachers and
students that Jandul and his group captured were freed except for three
teachers and Gallardo. The three allegedly died in the hands of the Abu Sayyaf.
The group created in the 90s has been blamed for many of the
terror attacks in the country including mass kidnapping of locals and
foreigners as well as bombings in the capital Manila. (Photo: VKB)
