SULU: Recruits are flocking to join Muslim
extremists who are holding a prominent broadcaster and her cameraman
hostage in southern Philippines, an intelligence official said on
Saturday.
Those who signed up for the Abu Sayyaf group are
hoping to have some of the huge ransom the Abu Sayyaf is demanding
in exchange for the release of the multi-awarded ABS-CBN reporter
Ces Drilon, her cameraman Jimmy Encarnacion and their guide,
Professor Octavio Dinampo of Mindanao State University, according to
an official who refused to be named.
