Muslim scholar shot dead in Zamboanga
PAGADIAN CITY – Motorcycle gunmen shot dead a Muslim scholar in an attack in the southern Philippine province of Zamboanga del Norte, police said Friday.
Police said the 37-year old Ustadz Abdurahman Abubakar was travelling on a motorcycle with his wife and child when the gunmen, who were tailing them, shot him from behind several times in the village of Malambuhangin in Siocon town.
The assailants fled after the shooting leaving behind Abubakar’s wife and child unscathed. The killing, which occurred late Thursday afternoon, is being investigated by the police, according to Major Helen Galvez, a regional police spokeswoman.
“The unidentified suspects shot the victim several times hitting his left shoulder and right forehead that cause his instantaneous death. The suspects hurriedly fled away to the hinterlands,” she said.
Abubakar’s family did not give any statement on the murder and no individual or group claimed responsibility for the killing. Attacks on Muslim scholars and religious leaders are in the region.
But in January, two unidentified men also attacked a local mosque, exploding a fragmentation grenade that killed 2 Islamic missionaries or Tablighi Jamaat in Zamboanga City.
Five other missionaries were wounded in the attack on Kamalhaldikan Mosque. At least 11 people were sleeping at the mosque when the attack occurred, killing Sattal Bato, 47, and Rex Habil, 46.
No individual claimed responsibility for the desecration of the mosque which occurred 3 days after a pair of Indonesian ISIS bombers blew themselves up at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral in Jolo town in Sulu province that left dozens of casualties.
Muslim scholars, in a strong worded statement, called the attack on the mosque and the killings of the missionaries, as “devilish, irrational and inhumane act.” (The Zamboanga Post)

Abus release kidnapped Zambo woman
PAGADIAN CITY – Abu Sayyaf militants in the southern Sulu province released a woman they kidnapped in August in Zamboanga del Norte.
The 64-year old Helen Roda was freed Friday after her family reportedly paid a still undetermined amount of ransom. Her husband, Rufo, 62, who was kidnapped along with her, had been released in October.
The woman took a ferry in Jolo town and travelled to Zamboanga where she was reunited with her husband.
The couple was kidnapped in August 31 after gunmen attacked and killed civilians - Amsid Maugag Callun, Absar Julkanain Gumba, Kabiran Saliuddin Ginsing, Saddam Baitulla Tahir, Jaayri Bairulla Lumihig and Muslimin Adan - in Piakan village in Sirawai town. A minor, Jering Carbi, was also wounded, in the assault.
The Western Mindanao Command and the local police authorities did not issue any statement on Roda’s safe release.
Last June 28, gunmen also kidnapped 6 people, including an infant, from a farm in San Nicolas village in Sirawai town. The victims, Feliciano Javier, 28; his wife Elsa, 28, and their five-month old baby Vincent; and Junior Javier, 22, and wife Rica, also 22-years old and their five-year old son Val, are keepers of farm owned by Valiente Tolo Felizarta, the town’s municipal engineer.
They were eventually released two weeks later in Gata village in Talipao town in Sulu in exchange for an unspecified amount of ransom and fetched by soldiers. (Mindanao Examiner)
