ZAMBOANGA CITY -- Armed vigilantes gave the Abu Sayyaf yesterday 12 days or
until April 15 to release 33 hostages, threatening to execute by firing squad
the relatives of the extremist group's leader whom they had snatched in a
bizarre tit-for-tat move. 

The Abu Sayyaf kidnapped 53 teachers, students and a Catholic priest after a
failed attack on an Army post in Basilan last March 20. 

They released 20 hostages in exchange for food and medicine, but warned they
would kill the rest if the military launched an offensive.
