A MALAY-Indonesian member of the terrorist Abu Sayyaf Group was nabbed on Saturday by police operatives in a slum in Quezon City, a report said Sunday.
A statement released by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group identified the suspect as Amin Aklam.
Chief Inspector Roque Merdigia said Aklam was arrested around 4 a.m. after his team swooped down on a house on Cotabato Street in Culiat village.
“Aklam is a Malaysian national affiliated with international terrorists,” Merdigia said.
“He stands accused of kidnapping and frustrated murder in a case now pending in a Regional Trial Court in Jolo.”
Merdigia said Aklam was in the Interior and Defense Departments’ list of most-wanted persons.
He said the people who were with Aklam during his arrest “were invited for verification.”
