Abu Sayyaf militants nabbed in Sandakan could be charged ahead of extradition, says Sabah police chief

KOTA KINABALU, Aug 25 — The seven Abu Sayyaf Group militants who were arrested by Malaysian special forces during an operation in Pulau Timbang in Sandakan on August 18 which resulted in the killing of two of their comrades, might be charged in Sabah before being extradited to the Philippines.

Hazani said police believed the seven suspects had other accomplices but might have fled following continuous operations against the remaining ASG members in Sabah. “The main masterminds have either been shot dead or nabbed in Beaufort district, and we believe the plan to kidnap estate owners in Sandakan has been put on hold for the time being,” he said at a press conference at the state police headquarters in Kepayan on Wednesday.

The incident happened around 5am when security forces came into contact with the two suspects, who had earlier ran and hid in the jungle during an operation two days earlier.
