KFRG leader dies, 2 captured in Zambo Sibugay clash

From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 28): KFRG leader dies, 2 captured in Zambo Sibugay clash

Government forces have killed an alleged kidnap-for-ransom-group (KFRG) leader with ties with the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) and captured two others following a clash early Tuesday in Zamboanga Sibugay.

Chief Supt. Billy Beltran, Police Regional Office-9 (PRO-9) director said the clash occurred around 3 a.m. Tuesday in Sitio Tarlah, Barangay Tampalan, Alicia, Zamboanga Sibugay.

Beltran identified the slain KFRG leader as Imam Yasin who has a standing warrant of arrest for murder while those arrested were Aujie Moh Abdul Karim and Mura Mohammad.

Beltran also said PO2 Larry Falitnang of SAF’s 84th Special Action Company was wounded and rushed to hospital.

Beltran said the clash ensued when Yasin resisted the joint government operatives during a law enforcement operation through the service of warrant of arrest against the KFRG leader.

He added the law enforcement team recovered an M14 rifle, mobile phones and subversive documents of high intelligence value.
