[Title] => 10 more Sayyaf bandits, supporters to surrender
[Summary] => At least 10 more Abu Sayyaf members and supporters in Jolo, Sulu are expected to surrender to the military as government forces pressed their crackdown against the Muslim extremist group.
However, efforts to rescue 21 American and Filipino hostages being held by the Abu Sayyaf in their jungle lair in Basilan remained a big letdown.
Lt. Gen. Gregorio Camiling, chief of the Armed Forces’ Southern Command (Southcom) based in Zamboanga City, said the 10 would be in addition to 12 others who turned themselves in last Thursday as a result of the crackdown in Sulu.
