ISABELA, Basilan -- Basilan Gov. Wahab Akbar warned the Abu Sayyaf yesterday
that he will wipe out the relatives of its leaders if the Muslim extremist
group harmed any of its hostages.

"I am always for the safety of future generations. To save a hundred thousand
lives, if 10 or 20 or a hundred should be sacrificed, then they should be
sacrificed so that many will be saved," Akbar vowed.

"I swear to God, if you hurt the hostages, I will finish off your family, Abu
Sabaya," Akbar warned Sayyaf spokesman Asmad Ala-huddin, alias Abu Sabaya.

ZAMBOANGA CITY - Two media groups here denounced the Abu Sayyaf for threatening
journalists critical of the Muslim fundamentalist group.

In a joint statement, the Zamboanga Press Club, led by Bernard Concepcion, and
the city chapter of the Union of Journalists of the Philippines, led by Rey
Luis Banagudos, said "freedom of speech, including its exercise through the
mass media, is a fundamental right of every citizen in a democratic society..."

Mediamen, they added, "have a duty to report to the public whatever information
they have in the higher interest of the people."
