                    [Summary] => The Department of Defense denied yesterday reports that the Abu Sayyaf has slipped out of the military dragnet around Zamboanga del Norte and taken more hostages.


Department spokesman retired Maj. Gen. Melchor Rosales said: "we verified this and it’s not true." Earlier unconfirmed reports said the Abu Sayyaf and its spokesman Aldam Tilao, alias Abu Sabaya, managed to slip through the military cordon in Zamboanga and that the bandits are hiding somewhere along the border of Ipil town in Zamboanga del Sur.
