ASG firearms supplier nabbed
ZAMBOANGA CITY — Authorities arrested an individual believed to be the supplier of firearms and ammunition to the Abu Sayyaf Group during a joint operation on an island off the coast of Hadji Muhtamad town in Basilan Province. Naval Forces Western Mindanao commander Rear Adm. Donn Anthony Miraflor on Tuesday narrated that the NFWM conducted a Support to Law Enforcement Operations in Barangay Sangbay “Small” Island off the coast of Hadji Muhtamad town on Sunday. The operation has resulted in the arrest of Yashin Mambun, a notorious large-scale illegal drugs distributor and gun-running in Basilan province. Mambun was believed to be also affiliated with the Basilan-based ASG and reportedly involved in providing firearms to the group. Recovered from the possession of Mambun were some 200 grams of shabu with an estimated street value of P2 million; one unit of AK47 C2 858 Tactical-4V Cal 7.62; one unit of TEC-KG9, 9mm; one unit colt MK IV cal. 45 pistol and several pieces of ammunition for different caliber of firearms.

Police intercepts P9.4-M contraband
ZAMBOANGA CITY — Police authorities intercepted a watercraft loaded with 211 master cases of assorted smuggled cigarettes worth P9.495 million at the sea waters of Caldera Bay fronting the coastline of Barangay Sinunuc in this city. Police Regional Office for Zamboanga Peninsula Director P/Brig. Gen. Neil B. Alinsañgan said yesterday elements of the 2nd Zamboanga City Mobile Force Company conducted a seaborne patrol and were able to intercept a Jungkong type of watercraft fronting the coastal village of Sinunuc about 10:30 p.m. on Friday. Alinsañgan said the police immediately boarded the watercraft and were surprised to see the assorted master cases of smuggled cigarettes on board the watercraft. The patrolling policemen immediately asked the six crews for the pertinent papers but they failed to show them. The police immediately seized the contraband consisting of 128 master cases of the New Berlin brand and 83 master cases of the Cannon menthol brand. Customs authorities in coordination with the police intercepted a watercraft loaded with 211 master cases of suspected smuggled cigarettes worth P4.495 million and arrested its six crews. They also placed under custodial investigation the six crews identified as Julamad Banggali, 38 (boat captain); Ronald Banggali, 33; Elvin Jaladil, 26; Almajar Salim, 38; Teting Salem, 35 and one minor. The entry of smuggled cigarettes to this city is becoming rampant and the newly-installed Customs collector seems handicapped to curb the proliferation of the illicit goods. The fresh seizure of smuggled cigarettes reportedly came from Sulu, the trans-shipment site of smuggled cigarettes for cities and provinces in Mindanao. The new customs district collector for the port of Zamboanga has jurisdiction over provinces and cities in the Zamboanga peninsula and Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi (BaSulTa) seem shy to issue a statement on the border control situation under his area of jurisdiction. . .

ZAMBOANGA CITY — The military on Monday reported the arrest of an individual believed to be the improvised explosive device maker of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters-Karialan Faction at the vicinity of the Cotabato Regional Medical Center in Barangay Rosary Heights 10, Cotabato City. 90th Infantry Battalion commanding officer Lt.
