SWISS RED CROSS WORKER FREE!

As probably all reading this Blog know the SWISS International Red Cross Committee
Member is free from the Abu Sayyaf kidnappers on SULU. It appears that Military action with
no firefight resulted in this good news. There are differing accounts of this release. The Military
continues to squeeze the ASG with a cordon surrounding their area with the hope of saving the
last ITALIAN International Red Cross Committee Member who is suffering from a hernia with
other serious physical problems at the hands of the ASG. (Pease see current news and prior info
written here about the first two releases of the Red Cross Workers)

UPDATE: The Vice Governor of Sulu was wanted for questioning ( NOT FOR ARREST) in
connection to reports of her contact with the ASG on SULU before and during the negotiations
for the release of Labaca.
No further information is available at this time. Vice-Governor Lady Ann was located in Manila
seeking treatment for stress as she reported in an interview n ABS-CBN.

UPDATE:
A fairly reliable source reports that the ASG has kidnapped two fishermen who have been taken
to Basilan. This kidnapping had not been, reportedly, told to the authorities. (We reported it)
The ASG is asking 10 million pesos for a Captain and a crew member. The Shipping Company
may be considering negotiating or just paying. Victims were spotted on Basilan.
