Police see Agusan hostage crisis over this Sunday

Authorities expect to secure Sunday the release of some 16 hostages held by a group of armed men in Agusan del Sur province. Caraga regional police Chief Superintendent Reynaldo Rafal said the hostage-takers seemed willing to release their captives. I presume it can be done through talks. Now, it's clear there's no reason to postpone it, said in an interview with various radio reporters. Our target: not later than today. Here, we will do everything we can, he said. — VS, GMA News
