Senior terror suspect held
Philippine police on Saturday said they have arrested a senior member of the Al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf group wanted for a series of kidnappings in the country's restive southern region.
Jul Wahid, using several aliases, was captured by police intelligence last Wednesday on a remote island near the insurgency hotbed Basilan province, police said.
