ZAMBOANGA, Philippines - Government troops killed a leader of the notorious Muslim extremist group Abu Sayyaf in a shootout in the southern Philippines, officials said Sunday.
Munap Manialah, also known as Commander Munap, was shot dead late Saturday in a firefight with Philippine army and navy troops in southern Basilan island's Isabela city, Philippine army spokesman Maj. Bartolome Bacarro said in a statement. A trooper was slightly wounded in the shootout.
Soldiers raided Manialah's hideout after civilians tipped off the military about his presence in Isabela's remote village of Menzi, Philippine navy spokeswoman Lt. Nancy Pastor said.
Bacarro said Manialah is wanted for murder and the Philippine government has offered a $6,241 bounty for his capture.
Washington has blacklisted the Abu Sayyaf — notorious for kidnappings and beheadings — as a terrorist group, and has offered a $5 million reward for information leading to the capture of its top leaders, including Abu Sayyaf chief Khaddafy Janjalani.
The Abu Sayyaf began a kidnapping spree in May 2001, seizing a total of 102 people, including three Americans, one of whom was beheaded. Another was later killed during a military operation that led to the rescue of the third.
When you take what's probably a round number in Philippine currency and translate it into US dollars
Great news, Bro. I hope this trend continues.
Dam Skippy!
Damn fine effort!
The more dead terrorists, the merrier.
Cool. One less scum. Why would anyone want to defecate on the NY Rag? The feces would hate to be on it.
A bus carrying some terrorist goes over a cliff
The good news that all died
the bad news, the bus was only half full.
Good shooting, good training, and continued good hunting to you.
Well it's really 62+4+1=67, which is the number of virgins the philipine moslem gets, I guess they get less virgins because they are a smaller country in land mass. Well it could be.
A shoot out is fine by me...if that's the way they want to go....Set 'em up Pilgrim.....
War has never solved anything. Except for destroying your sworn enemies, the mass murderers who would kill you in a heartbeat, along with everyone you love.
BTW, PERSHING ORDERED THE ISLAMIC TERRORISTS BURIED IN PIGFAT!
THE WAR RAPIDLY ENDED AFTER THIS. THERE IS A LESSON HERE FOR 100 YEARS AFTER THE MORO WAR.
I thought the air smelled particularily sweet yesterday. Its always seems that way when a terrorist filth dies, or someone in the on deck circle on death row finally steps up to the plate.
To carry this thing to its logical conclusion, the terroist trash's entire extended families should also be hunted down and killed as well. Its the least we can do for them, and what they would gladly do to us.
Americans have dealt brutally with Islamic terror, and to good effect. In 1911 in the Philippines, our Gen. John J. Pershing arrested several of the most brutal Islamic terrorists of the day. They were found guilty of capital crimes and shot, but not before the bullets used by the firing squad were dipped in pig fat, thus denying them according to the rule of Islam a soft landing in Heaven. Pershing, however, did allow one of the terrorists to escape so that he might report his chums' fate to their superiors. Islamic terrorism ended.
The Russians have a history of resorting to such tactics, and they proved effective. In Lebanon in the 1980s, two KGB officers were snatched by Islamic terrorists. The response from Moscow was immediate. Four of the terrorists' colleagues or like-minded scoundrels were snatched by the KGB, who deposited their corpses in public after surgeries were committed on their persons, which we shall not elaborate on. Suffice to say that the surgeries were abhorrent even to the mind of an Islamic terrorist. The KGB then let it be known that every time a Russian was murdered, he would be accompanied to the hereafter by two terrorists, possibly more, all surgically modified. The Islamic terror ended.
Funny, very funny. I imagine the rate of exchange coupled with reporters lack of detail gave us this preposterous bounty.
Violence solved Revolutionary, Civil, World War I and II, and will prove mosty effective in the war on terror World War III. I love when the Libtards say that violence doesn't solve anything. It seems to have a pretty good track record.
I just cancelled my breakfast plans thank you very much. God there should be some kind of warning so that you could avoid seeing that mess.
(It's a good day when the earth is ridden of worms like these ..)
