German hostages make second plea as Abu Sayyaf sticks to ‘beheading’ deadline


ZAMBOANGA CITY: The two German nationals being held hostage by Abu Sayyaf bandits in Sulu have appealed to the German and Philippine governments to “do everything” to ensure their safe release.

“I hope they do everything they can do to release us as soon as possible because it’s really getting worse down here everyday,” Henrite Dielen, wife of another hostage, Dr. Stefan Viktor Okonek, said in a phone interview aired live over RMN Zamboanga on Saturday.
