[Title] => Pentagon active despite Faisal slay
[Summary] => TACURONG CITY — Last week’s death of Pentagon leader Faisal Marohombsar has only emboldened his followers to break up into smaller and independent gangs to pursue their criminal activities, local officials and residents said yesterday.
Two new gangs have reportedly emerged from the Pentagon: the Dragon Group and Suicide Bomber Squad, which have been blamed for a spate of bombings in commercial centers in Central Mindanao.
The attacks were said to have been aimed at intimidating businessmen to pay "protection money" to the new band of extortionists.

[Title] => The ‘Pentagon’ spreads its wings in C. Mindanao
[Summary] => COTABATO CITY — The year 2001 will fade away leaving behind sad memories among Central Mindanao residents who have learned to live, through the years, with the nagging security problems in their communities.
This year, a local group of rogue Muslim rebels emerged as an intricate band of kidnappers now known as the "Pentagon" kidnap-for-ransom gang.
The group, led by the slippery Tahir Alonto, a former member of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), has claimed responsibility for more than 20 kidnappings in the region in the past seven months.

[Title] => MNLF leader started kidnaps in Central Mindanao
[Summary] => COTABATO CITY — A commander of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) started the kidnapping trend in Central Mindanao in 1990 and other armed groups joined the bandwagon when they found out that snatching people for ransom could bring them a lot of money.
While abductions were pulled off in the region in the 1960s, kidnappings only became rampant following the trend set by Commander Mubarak, leader of the National Security Command, an elite MNLF combat unit.
