NBI nabs Abu Sayyaf members with Metro Manila attack plan


The agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) arrested Abu Sayyaf members, who allegedly plan to stage an attack in Metro Manila, according to a report on Unang Hirit.

Anwar Sabarul Mohotoh was arrested in Quiapo, Manila.

The NBI said Mohotoh is the nephew of slain Abu Sayaff leader Isnilon Hapilon and a member of the Abu Sayyaf-Quiapo Cell.

The agents then arrested a certain "Julmain" in Culiat, Quezon City, who has pending cases of kidnapping and serious illegal detention with ransom in connection with the kidnapping of a member of the Jehovah's Witness in 2002.

Both suspects declined to issue a statement. — BAP, GMA News
