November 23, 2012, SunstarZamboanga, Troops arrest Abu Sayyaf bandit, by Bong Garcia, 

Joint operatives of the military and police have arrested a member of the notorious Abu Sayyaf group in the island province of Basilan, officials said Thursday.

Army’s 1st Infantry Division information officer Captain Alberto Caber said the bandit was arrested Thursday in the port of Isabela City, the capital of Basilan province.

Caber said the arrested Abu Sayyaf bandit is Abu Jaid, also known as Ajing.

Jaid was arrested on the strength of a warrant of arrest for kidnapping and murder issued by Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 1 Judge Leo Jay Principe, Caber said.

Jaid was involved in the 2001 kidnapping and beheading of two workers of the Golden Harvest Plantation in the village of Tairan, Lantawan, Basilan, according to Caber.

Jaid was brought to Zamboanga City for proper disposition, he said.

Meanwhile, 1st Infantry Division commander Major General Ricardo Rainier Cruz III lauded the combined military and policemen for the arrest of Abu Jaid.“This is the fruit of our Bayanihan in our communities, and strong support from our local officials,” Cruz said.   website:
