Not suprising.
IIRC, it was pretty well accepted that Abu Sayeff conducted their
kidnapping operations as a conduit for funding.
In other words, they'd kidnap innocents, then someone like Khaddafi would
send a million-dollar ransom.
The kidnapping was just a way to allow the foreign sponsors like
khaddafi a simple money-transfer method to fellow travelers like
Abu Sayeff.
