Abu Sayyaf, a Filipino Islamist jihadi group that has pledged allegiance to Islamic State (ISIS), beheaded a hostage from Canada, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed on Monday.
John Ridsdel, an ex-journalist turned mining executive, was named as the victim of the Filipino terrorists. Despite having pledged allegiance to ISIS, Abu Sayyaf has not been shown to be receiving support from the group.
"I am outraged by the news that a Canadian citizen held hostage has been killed. This was an act of cold-blooded murder," said Trudeau.
According to police in Jolo Island in Sulu province, a jungled province in the southern Philippines where Abu Sayyaf is believed to be holding several captives, two men on a motorcycle left Ridsdel's severed head in a plastic bag on a street in Jolo town, before fleeing the scene.
Abu Sayyaf had threatened to behead one of three captives abducted last September from a marina on the southern Samal Island, if by Monday it was not paid a ransom equivalent to around $6.4 million for each of the three hostages - two Canadians and a Norwegian.
Aside from Ridsdel the other Canadian was identified as Robert Hall, and the Norwegian is Kjartan Sekkingstad, the manager of the resort's marina where they were captured. A Filipino woman was also captured, according to police.

Trudeau is importing them to Canada. What could go wrong?
OK, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau show us your outraged face......
Yeah, just what I thought.
I hear it’s a “Fabulous” place.
Filipino Moros. They are why G-d and Colt invented the .45 ACP.
Yep. Canada will soon get the government they deserve just like we did.
Someone needs to make a website, showing how many homosexuals have been killed by Muslims worldwide, compared to how many transgendered people have been killed coming out of the 'wrong' bathroom, and concatenate the totals by day, week, month, and year...
Shouldn’t Mecca be “decapitated” by now?
Well, he won’t be heading home.
If Rodrigo Duterte gets elected, he may go full military with them. He has a reputation for that.
I read recently that Duterte is very pro-Chinese. Philippines are facing many problems these days. None of which would have happened if we were still based there. What decision they ever made, asking us to leave.
I believe there were problems in the Muslim parts of the Phillippines even when we had bases in the Phillippines.
“By 1970, differential access to both land and government resources had produced a profound economic gap between Muslim and Christian communities throughout Mindanao. In 1971 the same Philippine Senate Committee reported that until that year there were no irrigation projects in any municipality in Mindanao where Muslims were a majority (Gowing 1979).”
“As early as 1954 the economic disparities between Philippine Muslims and Christians generated by Christian migration to the Muslim South were already becoming conspicuous.”

They were beheading monastery monks even way back when, per Filipina that I used to work with a couple decades ago. Didn’t make the news, but was constant issue.
Good for him. Are they calling him a racist or an islamophobe yet?
