Tawi Tawi-based gangs crippled by deaths of two chiefs and with another on the run

KOTA KINABALU: With two key leaders killed and another on the run, the Tawi Tawi-based cross border kidnapping groups are now rudderless.

The drama took place during Thursday’s well-coordinated operations to eliminate the notorious kidnap-for-ransom groups based in the Tawi-Tawi chain of islands in southern Philippines.
