Abu Sayyaf tidak harus menculik untuk mendapatkan wang dan penyelesaian tuntas untuk mengakhiri ancaman Abu Sayyaf

Abu Sayyaf selalu menceroboh perairan kita untuk menculik, tujuannya utk dapat duit melalui pembayaran wang tebusan.

Namun bagi saya Abu Sayyaf tak perlu menculik untuk dapatkan wang tebusan. Sebabnya? Mudah..sebab mereka ni Abu Sayyaf, kumpulan bersenjata yang memiliki pelbagai senjata termasuk bom tangan, grenad, pelancar roket, pelancar grenad, mesingun berat M50 Browning, Mesingan sederhana General purpose machine gun dan mesingan ringan Minimi serta rifle M16, M14, AK47, Garrand dan macam2 lagi senjata. Jadi untuk mendapatkan apa saja barang keperluan seperti beras, hotdog, mee, minyak masak, selipar, kasut, bawang merah dan putih, skurew driver, spana, ayam, kambing, lembu, laptop, handphone, sim kad, prepaid dan sebagainya, mereka hanya perlu ke tempat2 yang menjual segala barangan yang dikehendaki dan bawa lari saja semua barang yang diperlukan, tak perlu bayar, tak perlu duit!! Kenapa? Sebab mereka ni abu sayyaf. Manada taukeh yg berani halang bila mereka datang dan ambil semua barang2 yg diperlukan...!!!

Begitu juga jika Abu Sayyaf mahu kereta, motorsikal atau basikal, hanya perlu ke kedai jual kereta, motorsikal dan basikal dan rampss semua sekali, rompak..kalau tokeh enggan beri, acukan senjata semua atau tembak towkeh atau culik towkeh... Kalau mau isi minyak kenderaan, isi saja di stesen minyak dan terus jalan, tak payah bayar. Tokerh stesen minyak mana berani minta bayar sebab mereka ni semua bawa senjata!!!

Begitu juga kalau Abu sayaf mau kahwin, pergi saja kampung yg ada gadis dan bawa lari saja gadis itu. tak payah bayar mas kahwin atau wang hantaran. Tak perlu pakai wang langsung.

Begitu juga jika Abu Sayyaf mahu bekalan dadah heroin, syabu, morfin, kokain...pergi saja ke pusat pengedaran dadah dan ambil kesemua bekalan dadah itu...tak perlu bayar..tak perlu duit. siapa lawan, tembaklah..abu sayyaf kan banyak senjata. ATau culik saja raja dadah jolo dan paksa bekalan dadah diberikan tiap2 hari... semuanya tak perlukan wang kerana mereka ni abu sayyaf!!

Jadi buat apa abu sayyaf mau susah2 pergi sabah dan culik pelancong utk dapatkan wang tebusan???

Philippines National Army vs Abu Sayyaf

After several high profile kidnappings, The Abu Sayyaf guerrillas in the southern Philippines is back in the limelight.

This time The Abu Sayyaf is engaged in a close quarter ground battle with the Philippines National Army in Basilan.

Infact the battle was so close that it was almost hand to hand combat and reinforcement via air attack cannot be called in.

Todate, 53 died including 23 Philippines army personells and at least 30 Abu Sayyaf guerillas.










The rest of the news below by Reuters.

A battle pitting Philippine troops against Muslim guerrillas on a remote southern island killed at least 53 people, the military said on Thursday, but analysts said the clash is unlikely to have sidelined the rebels.

Soldiers killed at least 30 guerrillas during an assault on Wednesday on a base of Abu Sayyaf rebels in the interior of the southern island of Basilan, Brigadier-General Rustico Guerrero, marine commander, told reporters.

"Based on this one incident alone, it would be premature to make a conclusion on the neutralization of the Abu Sayyaf," Mars Buan, an analyst at the Pacific Strategies and Assessments risk consultancy, told Reuters.

"In the past, the Abu Sayyaf has suffered bigger number of casualties, but it has remained as one of the serious threats in the south."

Twenty-three soldiers were killed and 20 were wounded in eight hours of fighting, Guerrero said, describing it as one of the biggest battles since 2007, when 15 soldiers and 40 rebels were killed on Basilan.

"We launched a decisive law enforcement operation targeting the Abu Sayyaf's main training base on Basilan, but we were met by heavy resistance," he said.

The guerrillas fled into the island's heavily wooded interior, said Rear Admiral Alexander Pama, navy commander on Basilan. Security forces on Thursday resumed pursuit operations against remnants of the 150-man rebel group.

"It was close quarter combat, the two sides almost came into hand-to-hand battle," Pama told Reuters. He said the proximity meant the military could not call in air strikes.

"What's more important for us was we've disrupted their crude bomb factory and training base."

UNHOLY ALLIANCE

Analysts expected intensified operations against the Abu Sayyaf, but foresaw no decisive development in the conflict.

Buan said the Abu Sayyaf's loose structure meant an encounter on Basilan would not affect militants on nearly Jolo island.

Rex Robles, a retired navy commodore and a security analyst, said the rebels were both familiar with the territory and enjoyed the support of the local community.

"There are so many armed groups operating there, not just the Abu Sayyaf," Robles said. "I would not be surprised if some rogue members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front come to the aid of the Abu Sayyaf. Some of them are related by blood and marriage."

The Abu Sayyaf is the smallest but most deadly of several Muslim groups fighting for independence in the south of the Roman Catholic state. It is estimated to have about 350 hard-core followers based mostly on Basilan and Jolo.

It has links with Jemaah Islamiah, a pan-Asian radical Muslim group blamed for attacks in Indonesia, including the 2002 Bali bombings and the bombings of two hotels in Jakarta last month.

Abu Sayyaf is blamed for the worst militant attack in the Philippines, the sinking of a ferry in Manila Bay in 2004 in which 100 people were killed.

It has also been in the spotlight for high-profile kidnappings, most recently of three Red Cross officials on Jolo who were later freed. Newspapers said large ransoms were paid, although officials have denied making any payments.

Malaysian Airlines flies daily from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu and is reported to introduce direct flight from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau (nearest airport to Sipadan)

Plans are underway to declare Sipadan island as a World Heritage site - the 2nd in Sabah after the world famous Mount Kinabalu..

The island itself has attracted world headlines in the past years - not only for its mouthwatering and peerless beauty, but also due to a few unpleasent incidents - such as the raid and kidnapping of foreign and local tourists in April 2000 by the Abu Sayyaf.


The 21 hostages were only released after many months being held captive in scattered locations in jungles in Jolo, Southern Phillipines - some via ransom money payment and some via direct negotiations which also involved the Libyan and Malaysian government.

Among the chief negotiator on behalf of the Malaysian government were Datuk Sairin Karno - now state assemblyman for Liawan, Keningau, Sabah Progressive Party President and ex Sabah chief Minister - Datuk Yong Teck Lee and a few others.

6 Malaysians including a policeman from Semporna - Abdul Jawah Selawat were among the kidnap victims.

The others among others were Fong Kin Yen, Basilius Jim, Balakrishnan Nair and Francis Masangkim.

Other hostages were from Lebanon, South Africa and France.

The whole incident was dubbed "Terror in Paradise"..

The Abu Sayyaf group who did the daring Pulau Sipadan raid was led by Ghalib Andang aka. Commander Robot.. he was arrested in 2003.


Other notabale Abu Sayyaf leaders are Mujib Susukan, Abu Sabaya, Isnilon Hapnilon and Komander Global, it was reported that most of them had died in gun battles with the Phillipines forces.



Since the incident, the Malaysian government has beefed up security off Sabah waters, including stationing the Army and Police on a permanent basis at Sipadan island.

Abu Sayyaf or The Father of Sword is a lawless group, was found by AbduRazak Abu Bakar Janjalani in 1991... it consisted of radical members of the MNLF, Moro National Liberation Front.

AbduRazak was slain in a gunbattle with the Phillipines Armed Forces possibly n 1998 and replaced by his brother - Khadaffy Janjalani.

Abu Sayyaf normally operates in the island of Jolo and Basilan, in the Southern Phillipines.

The group was also responsible for another kidnapping off Sabah waters in Pandanan island, also in the year 2000 where 3 Malaysians were kidnapped at gun point and subsequently released unharmed after ransom payment.

Abu Sayyaf was also behind the infamous kidnapping of US couple - Martin and Gracia Burnham on May 27, 2001 at a Palawan resort -Dos Palmas.

Gracia escaped but Martin died after a gun battle with Phillipines forces - one year later - on 7 June 2002.

The United States Department of States has branded the group a terrorist entity because of its activities and purpoted alignment to Jemaah Islamiyah and Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda.

On a brighter note - this is a news report by the New Straits Times about the handing over of adminsitration of Sipadan island from the federal government to the Sabah state government.


KOTA KINABALU: Winds of change are blowing over Pulau Sipadan with the imminent handover of the island to the state government.


The National Security Council in the Prime Minister's Department is now in the final process of handing over the administration of the world-famous diving spot."This has always been the plan.


The island was handed over to the Federal Government in 2002 by the International Court of Justice in a territorial dispute with Indonesia.


"Now that things are settled, the island will be returned to the Sabah government," said state Tourism, Environment and Culture Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun.


The state government will form a small panel headed by an assistant minister to tackle the various issues brought up by tourists and dive operators, and Sabah Parks will handle the day-to-day running of the island.


"There will be less red tape and we will be able to manage it more efficiently," said Masidi.One of the first issues to be tackled is the limit of 120 divers per day on the island.


It was put into place several years ago to protect Sipadan's delicate ecosystem.But as the island's fame spread, more dive operators set up shop, and the complex distribution of the diving permits often leaves tourists, who have travelled thousands of kilometres to get there, disappointed.


A proposal is being looked into to modify the limitation and allow 120 divers in the morning, and another 120 in the afternoon each day."This will allow more divers to experience the underwater splendours of Sipadan without overburdening the island."


The island, off the east coast of Sabah, has hit the headlines several times, but not always for its reputation as a premier dive spot.


In 2000, gun-toting Abu Sayyaf terrorists stormed the island and kidnapped 21 divers and resort workers, and held them hostage. All were eventually released.


In 2004, all dive operators on Sipadan were told to move their structures from the island to conserve its ecosystem and corals. The move created much scepticism and controversy.


In 2006, a barge carrying tonnes of building material beached on the island, damaging a significant portion of reef. The materials were said to be for a million ringgit tourist facility with a rest house, toilets and scuba shop.

The idea was scrapped due to widespread objections and a more modest project was proposed.
