TWO Chinese businessmen were abducted by a group of gunmen in the restive Mindanao last night, local police said today.
Manuel Barcena, Directorate for Integrated Police Operation (DIPO) commander for western Mindanao said the incident happened in Kabasalan, a town of the southern province of Zamboanga Sibugay.
The police have identified the two victims as Jampong Lin and James Lou, and both were from Guangdong Province of southern China engaging in mining business, he added.
According to Barcena, police investigation disclosed that six gunmen barged into the rented house of the victims and seized them at gunpoint about 8pm yesterday in Barangay F.L Pena, Kabasalan town.
The suspects dragged them into a white van and fled away.

He also said the suspects have not contacted the victim's families as of press time to relay their demand in exchange for the release of them.
