Breaking News Muslim guerrillas kidnap nine, kill one in southern Philippines 11/28/2002 2:45:00 PM AFP Muslim separatist guerrillas killed one and kidnapped nine people during a raid in a remote southern Philippine community last week, police and military sources said Thursday. Sources said members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) attacked a village near the town of Magsaysay in Lanao del Norte town on November 16. They burned a house owned by a convert to Islam, and gunned him down when he tried to stop them. Nine other members of the man's household were taken as hostages, the sources said. The captives were believed taken to a rebel stronghold in a nearby province and the MILF members demanded some 50,000 pesos (about 1,000 dollars) in ransom. The incident was kept secret from the local press as authorities negotiated for the captives' release. Provincial governor Imelda Dimaporo and police officials later secured their freedom without any ransom changing hands, the sources said. The MILF is the country's largest Muslim separatist group. It signed a ceasefire pact with Manila last year paving the way for negotiations. Meanwhile, unidentified gunmen also kidnapped a Filipino-Chinese couple in Lanao del Norte early this week, the military said. Sonny Chua and his wife Emily were aboard a truck when the suspects waylaid their vehicle and forcibly took them hostages. "We received the report and police and soldiers were immediately sent to search and rescue the victims," regional Army spokesman Major Johnny Macanas told reporters. He said soldiers had recovered the abandoned truck of the couple, but the fate of the hostages was unknown. "We still don't know what happened to them. Authorities are closely coordinating with the victims' family," Macanas said. Muslim Abu Sayyaf rebels are also holding hostage three Indonesian sailors and four Filipina Christian preachers elswhere in the southern Philippines. The fresh spate of kidnappings came a day after the national police reported that kidnapping cases in the Philippines dropped 32 percent in the 10 months to October from the previous year to just 62 reported cases. strs/jvg/mm/rcw -- Outgoing mail is certified virus free Scanned by Norton AntiVirus Woolybooger for the day: If a kafir person (non-believer) goes in a Muslim country, he is like a cow. Anybody can take him. That is the Islamic law. If a kafir is walking by and you catch him, he's booty. You can sell him in the market. Most of them are spies. And even if they don't do anything, if Muslims cannot take them and sell them in the market, you just kill them. It's OK. ~~Sheik Abu Hamza, affiliated with London's Finsbury Park mosque <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
