[Title] => RP loses $300,000 in Abu ‘sting’ operation
[Summary] => The government has written off $300,000 used in a failed operation to recover two Americans held hostage by Abu Sayyaf kidnappers, court documents said yesterday.
The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) asked the Court of Appeals to lift the freeze order on monies deposited in various banks after a failed effort to recover Americans Martin and Gracia Burnham and Filipina Edibora Yap last year.
The AMLC told the court it could not prove the depositors of the money were directly linked to the kidnapping of the Burnhams and Yap, court documents showed.

[Summary] => Office of Muslim Affairs Executive Director Habib Mujahib Hassin favors the "reimbursement of expenses" to the Abu Sayyaf in exchange for the freedom of American missionary couple Martin and Gracia Burnham and Filipino nurse Deborah Yap.

Hassin said reimbursement may be "a minimal amount of money," which the kidnappers might have shouldered in taking care of the three hostages.
