The Abu Sayyaf freed Filipina KIDNAP victim, MARY JEAN LACABA, last evening after the intervention of the Vice Governor of Sulu along with Congressman Hataman of Zamboanga City (see prior BLOG regarding Hataman), Cogressman Gordon of the Philippine RED CROSS, and several other Congressmen and Officials on Sulu. At this pouint there is no understanding about how or why this release took place. The Marines picked Labaca up on an agreed location and she was taken to the Marine Base in JOLO, SULU. Pictures of her appeared likely that she was extremely fragile and exhausted but no further information was released. Labaca was bathed, fed favorite foods and given a Medical Exam in Jolo. She slept and reportedly was to be flown to Manila for debriefing. She was able to speak with her husband by cell phone from Jolo. More information will be reported at a later time.
Swiss Abdreas Notter and Italian Eugenio Vagni, both men and both International Red Cross Committee Members, are still held by the ASG on Sulu.Updates will be made when known.
The Terrorist with the Victims from SINGAPORE is a known member of the JI and has been serving as the translator for ENGLIH/EUROPEAN phone calls from the TERRORISTS regarding DEMANDS by the ASG.
The freed 9 year old boy taken by the ASG is at WESRMINCOM and his family is making plans to move from the danger of LAMITAN, BASILAN, to a safer location after their ordeal. The Mother is grateful that her son is alive.
