Fate of Malaysian captives unclear


KOTA KINABALU: The fate of two Malaysian captives in the hands of the Abu Sayyaf is now in question amid an ongoing military offensive against the militants at the mountainous jungles of Jolo in southern Philippines.

For now, marine policeman Konst Zakiah Aleip and fish farm manager Chai Sai Chuin are being held in a location away from the area of operations but that situation could change at any time, according to local anti-kidnapping activist Prof Octavio Dinampo.
