[Title] => New crime groups emerge from Pentagon
[Summary] => COTABATO CITY — Apart from smaller, independent kidnap gangs, more than a dozen smaller extortion rings of the notorious Pentagon kidnapping syndicate have also emerged following last month’s death of its chieftain, Faisal Marohombsar, local residents and religious leaders in Central Mindanao said.
Various sectors in the region blame the lackluster police performance in failing to update the order of battle for members of the new extortion rings and in its supposed role of neutralizing the new groups of the dreaded kidnap-for-ransom syndicate.
