Armed men abduct Mindanao bus firm worker


KORONADAL CITY – Armed men abducted on Saturday night an employee of Yellow Bus Line (YBL) here just as the premier bus firm in the region resumed its operations after a series of bombings targeting the company’s buses, police said Sunday. Jaime Rosios, one the company's mechanic, and a resident of General Santos City, had just came out from their depot along General Santos Drive at about 7:00 p.m. when unidentified men approached and forced him into their getaway vehicle at gun point, said Supt. Robert Kiunisala, South Cotabato police director. "We are still investigating the incident. We eyeing the same group behind the series attacks against YBL could be responsible for the abduction," Kiunisala said. "We are also looking into labor problems within the company," he added. The YBL resumed operations on Saturday after authorities implemented tighter security measures. Eight days ago, YBL stopped servicing the Davao City-Isulan, Sultan Kudarat route in the wake of at least three bomb attacks, the latest of which was on August 4 where a pastor was killed and 12 others were wounded. - GMANews.TV
