[Title] => US, Southcom to give $100,000 bounty to tipster
[Summary] => ZAMBOANGA CITY — The military confirmed that the United States, in coordination with Armed Forces Southern Command (Southcom) chief Lt. Gen. Gabriel Habacon, will give tomorrow a $100,000 reward to a Filipino whose tip led to the arrest of a bandit wanted for kidnapping.
The unnamed Filipino will receive the bounty for information leading to the arrest of Toting Hanno, alias Jacaria, in January 2005, US Embassy spokesman Matt Lussenhop said.

[Title] => EDITORIAL – Back to Basilan?
[Summary] => 
Over three years ago Khadaffy Janjalani slipped out of Basilan, stronghold of the Abu Sayyaf group, before the start of the Balikatan joint military exercises between Philippine and US troops. The exercises, which marked the return to the country of US forces since the shutdown of their bases here in 1992, drove out the Abu Sayyaf from its jungle base in Basilan, with several members bringing with them a Filipina nurse and two American hostages as they fled.

[Title] => Ex-FBI agent asks government to pass anti-terrorism bill
[Summary] => A retired US law enforcer testifying in the trial of the alleged kidnappers of Americans Jeffrey Shilling and Gracia Burnham asked Congress here yesterday to work for the immediate passage of an anti-terrorism law.
John Gray, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s lead investigator who looked into the snatching of Americans by the Abu Sayyaf, relayed this request to Ricardo Diaz, National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Interpol Division chief, when he visited him in his office, and during a telephone conversation.

[Title] => BI, airport officials confirm Gracia’s trip
[Summary] => Former Abu Sayyaf hostage American missionary Gracia Burnham was in town last year, immigration and airport officials confirmed yesterday.
And apparently, the surprise visit is puzzling to both Philippine and American officials.
Officials from the Bureau of Immigration (BI) and the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) said Burnham and her three children arrived in Dec. 23, 2004 and left the country on Jan. 11, 2005.

[Title] => Good riddance
[Summary] => Well, that didn’t turn out too badly. It’s ghoulish, it’s heartless, but many people didn’t mind that Abu Sayyaf cutthroats gave the government an opportunity to wipe out some of their leaders yesterday.
No tears were shed for the thugs we knew as "commander" Robot, Kosovo and Global. Our only regret is that Robot, a.k.a. Ghalib Andang, has taken his secrets to the grave. Now we’ll never know who else got a share in the $30 million that he earned from the Sipadan kidnapping. Some crooks can now heave a sigh of relief in their mansions.

[Title] => Sayyaf suspect nabbed
[Summary] => The military captured a suspected Abu Sayyaf bandit who allegedly took part in the kidnapping of a group of Filipino tourists and three Americans from a plush resort in Palawan in May 2001.

Mohammad had been placed under "tactical interrogation" before he was turned over to the police for proper filing of charges, the military said.

[Title] => Gracia: No Abu-AFP collusion
[Summary] => American missionary Gracia Burnham wept as she testified against six of her alleged abductors in a heavily guarded court yesterday, recounting a year of jungle captivity and saying that the Islamic extremists who kidnapped her celebrated the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks in the United States.
However, Burnham said there was no collusion between the military and the Abu Sayyaf in collecting millions of dollars in ransom for her fellow hostages.
At the start of her three-hour testimony, Burnham pointed to six of the suspects — Alhamser Manatad Limbong, Abdul Assan Djamla alias Abu Umbran, Khayr Muctar alias Abu Khair, Basher Ismael, Abu Daud and Alsen Balintung Jandul — as among those she saw at the Abu Sayyaf camp in Basilan where they were held in captivity.
A government prosecutor said Burnham was brought to tears twice, one when she described the death of her husband, Martin, during a military rescue operation.
