Army, PNP step up security
amid ‘Abu Sayyaf terror plot'
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW
Law enforcement agencies in Negros Oriental yesterday were alerted on an unverified plot allegedly by the Abu Sayyaf Group to carry out some kidnapping activities in Dumaguete City.
Col. Allan Martin, commander of the 302 nd Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army based in Tanjay City, Negros Oriental, confirmed that he and other law enforcers had received similar text messages purportedly from the intelligence community regarding the said “terror plot” and the “movement” of a certain ASG leader and his henchmen.
But Martin cautioned against circulating said text messages that he emphasized were unverified, so as not to cause undue alarm, especially among tourists visiting the province.
