All MNLF forces should be advised to stay put in their camps to avoid untoward incident. |
I am trying to see whether it's possible for me to get the release of some people bit by bit. |
It will take a lot of persuasion ... that's why I am not promising a miracle at all. We should be prepared for any eventuality because these people will cling to these hostages tooth and nail, I'm sure. |
There is no clear-cut victor in the battlefield, either on their part or on our part. There has been a stalemate and this stalemate has been going on for years on end. |
There was an attempt to have them released, but the engine of their boat conked out on their way back to Sabah (East Malaysia). |
