Militants free Filipinos seized with Jordanian journalist

MANILA: Abu Sayyaf militants have freed two Filipino television crew members seized along with a Jordanian journalist nearly eight months ago in the southern Philippines, police said Sunday.

Hostages Buboy Letriro and Ramil Vela walked free Saturday evening on southern Jolo island, where Abu Sayyaf militants had held them since June last year, regional police chief Noel delos Reyes told AFP.
