BALANGA CITY, Bataan — A suspected terrorist working as a security guard in Bulacan and Bataan provinces was arrested by agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) inside a fast food restaurant in Balanga City, police said. NBI agents arrested Musa Sampang, 45, from Manila on Monday after they have been tipped off that Sampang was a member of a terrorist group in Mindanao, said Police Col. Eduardo Guevarra, Balanga City police chief, in a belated report. ADVERTISEMENTGuevarra refused to give details of the arrest, saying the operation was carried out by NBI agents. Sampang once worked as a security guard during the construction stage of the one-stop shop building in the provincial capital of Bataan. The NBI tagged Sampang as the driver of a getaway vehicle involved in the Basilan bombing last year, which Sampang also denied.
