Philippine Police arrests 3 suspected members of Daesh
The Philippine National Police’s Criminal
Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) arrested three suspected members of ISIS,
Daulah Islamiyah Ranao in separate operations at Parañaque City and Rizal
province on Friday.
Norodin Abolkhair Manalinding and Cairo Gen Manatao
Abolkhair, natives of Madaya Dilod in Marawi City, were nabbed during a
surveillance operation at 3:30 a.m. in Baclaran, Parañaque City for violating
RA 10591 or the Comprehensive Law on Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act, RA
7166 or an Act Providing for Synchronized National and Local Elections and for
Electoral Reforms, and RA 9516 or the Law on Explosives.
“Initial investigation revealed that Norodin
Abolkhair Manalinding is allegedly the finance facilitator and recruiter of the
said group,” said Lt. Col. Arnold C. Ibay, CIDG-National Capital Region
director, at a press conference on May 10.
Authorities were able to seize the following from
the two suspects: one 9mm pistol which had no serial number; one magazine; nine
bullets; one fragmentation grenade; one .45 caliber pistol; one .45 magazine;
six .45 caliber bullets; and one black tactical bag.
Arrested in another operation was Tagoranao Dimaro
Sarip Jr. He was arrested at 6 a.m. at Cainta, Rizal through search warrants
for violation of RA 10591 and RA 9516.
“Allegedly, Tagoranao is a propagandist and member
of the media cell of ISIS responsible in spreading propaganda for the group,”
said Mr. Ibay.
