                    [Summary] => ZAMBOANGA CITY - One of three Indonesians being held hostage by the Abu Sayyaf has reportedly died due to sickness, the military said yesterday.


Brig. Gen. Romeo Tolentino, commander of the military’s Operation Endgame, said they received reports that one of the three Indonesian succumbed to illness, but they are still trying to verify the report.


"We cannot make any categorical confirmation as of the moment. We are still verifying and we hope that the report is not true. There are still some doubts," he said.

                    [Summary] => Army Scout Rangers captured yesterday an abandoned Abu Sayyaf camp in the hinterland of Patikul town in Sulu and recovered live ammunition, improvised land mines and medical supplies including bloodstained bandages.


Meanwhile, three suspected Abu Sayyaf bandits and a soldier were reported killed yesterday in a gunbattle in Sumisip town on nearby Basilan island.


The military believed that the camp, located within a durian and mangosteen orchard in Sitio Bungkaong, Barangay Danag in Patikul, was being used by an Abu Sayyaf band led by Radulan Sahiron.
