Abu Sayyaf team heads towards Malaysia on the hunt for kidnap targets
The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) Piracy Reporting Centre has been alerted by Malaysian intelligence that an Abu Sayyaf kidnap for ransom group left Jolo Island in the far south of the Philippines, yesterday destined for Sabah, Malaysia.
Security consultants Ambrey suggest the target area is understood to be around Felda Sahabat and Tambisan.
The group is said to be using a speedboat painted red on the top and yellow on the bottom with two 40HP outboard engines.
I can find no other sources on this story, not even anything from IMB. Please can you include links to your sources of information.
Investigated and could not find any information at IMB or anywhere else. Where exactly I can get this from first hand? Any link?
Can‘t find neither. If that is junk or 1st April joke, it wouldn‘t be funny
Especially to those of us based in Sabah right now. I’d not heard of Splash247 before. Is this a serious shipping news source or a joke set-up?
