                    [Summary] => Twenty-four bandits from two Abu Sayyaf factions surrendered to Army troops in the Sulu jungle last Wednesday.


The first to yield were 22 men of Ghalib Andang, alias Commander Robot, followed by two partisans of Radulan Sahiron in Barangay Bungkaong in Patikul.


Commander Robot led the Muslim extremists’ band that kidnapped the 21 mostly foreign hostages from Sipadan island off Sabah last April 23, while Sahiron is believed to be holding the three Malaysians whom they abducted from another Malaysian island last month.

ISABELA, Basilan -- "Vengeance," said the children.

Most children whom Army Scout Rangers had rescued after 44 days in captivity
want to exact revenge against the terrorist band Abu Sayyaf.

"I hope the soldiers wipe them out because they are evil," 12-year-old Ma.
Cristina Francisco said in Filipino. 

She was sitting alone in a far corner of a hospital ward, nursing swollen feet
caused by bruises sustained from walking barefoot in the jungles of Basilan.

"They (Abu Sayyaf terrorists) had no mercy," she said while biting her lips to
restrain her anger.

ISABELA, Basilan -- Abu Sayyaf guerrillas freed two hostages yesterday after
vigilantes released the pregnant wife and one-year-old daughter of their leader
Khadaffy Janjalani.

But the group's spokesman Abu Asmad Salayuddin insisted that they had not
swapped captives, but that it was a gesture of gratitude to the
government-initiated Crisis Management Committee (CMC).

"We released a male and female student of Claret High School-Tumahubong after
our meeting with the CMC," he said.
