Yusop Tadah, who carried a P350,000 prize on his head, tried to flee when he was spotted in General Santos City last Monday, but the law enforcers shot him in the left leg.
Tadah, a close ally of captured Abu Sayyaf leader Nadzmie Saabdulla alias Commander Global, was presented to reporters yesterday.
Authorities linked Tadah to the kidnappings of a Taiwanese woman and three of her Filipino family members in 1998, and a Zamboanga del Sur trader a year before. — Roel Pareño
