Setelah Bapak Presiden memberikan konferensi Press malam yang lalu, tentang pembebasan sandra kita oleh kelompok Abu Sayaf, di jelaskan karena hal ini adalah berkat operasi intelegen, dan terkesan tanpa ada uang tembusan sama sekali.

Berbeda dengan apa yang dikatakan Ibu Mega, kalau pembebesan itu karena uang tebusan. Disitulah saya menjadi penasaran, kemudian mencari tahu, bagaimana Koran-koran philipina memberitakan tentang pembebasan sandra kita itu, dan begini mereka menulis;

” When asked whether ransom was paid for the Indonesians’ release, the army officer said he was unaware of any payment, but noted that the Abu Sayyaf traditionally has released captives only after money has been paid.”

Sementara menurut CNN Phillihine … Tan, meanwhile, said the victims were dropped off in front of his house between 10 to 11 in the morning.

Lalu siapa yang memediasi?

According to Tan, the local government has been in talks with the Abu Sayyaf for the release of its hostages. Tan added that the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) mediated and helped in the release of the Indonesian hostages.

Balik lagi ke awal, bahwa kelompok Abu Sayaf itu, setelah menyandra WNI, tidak ada kaitannya/tuntutan untuk kepentingan agama, politik, ekonomi, social, dll. an sich hanya minta uang tebusan sebesar 14M.

From the beginning Abu Sayyaf demanded was a Rp14M ransom to release Indonesian Hostages, nothing to do with politics, religion or any other purposes.

That’s not a big deal, isn’t it?
