Sayyaf beheads 6 abducted workers (More Murderous Muslim Mayhem)

Six road workers kidnapped by Abu Sayyaf extremists were found beheaded Thursday in Jolo.

The severed heads of the six mostly-Christian workers were found in the jungles of Jolo by soldiers, four days after the workers were seized while heading to a government road project, said Major General Ruben Rafael.

The workers were seized by Al Bader Parad, a commander of the Abu Sayyaf, responsible for the worst terror attacks in Philippine history.

One of the soldiers who found the remains said, on condition of anonymity, that the heads had been scattered in various places in Jolo.

The soldier said the troops had been tipped off on where the heads could be found.

Parad had earlier demanded a ransom of P5 million for the hostages but the local government had said it could not pay it.

More than 8,000 troops are on Jolo on instructions from President Arroyo to crush the Abu Sayyaf.

The group has been blamed for a series of bomb attacks in the Philippines in recent years, as well as high-profile kidnap­pings of Christians, foreigners and missionaries.

The group is also sheltering two members of the Jemaah Islamiah, Indonesians Dul­matin and Umar Patek, allegedly involved in the deadly 2002 Bali bombings which left more than 200 dead.

Intelligence officials say the Abu Sayyaf had contacts with the al-Qaeda network of terror mastermind Osama bin Laden.

On Thursday, the United Nations’ World Food Program said 42,000 people have been displaced by fighting between troops and Muslim militants in Jolo.

The World Food Program said it planned to deliver 85 tons of rice to affected areas in Jolo, where a faction of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) has been engaged in heavy fighting with marines since last week.

Fighting began last Friday when MNLF forces shelled a military base, triggering heavy reprisals.

At least 12 people from both sides have died since, while some 8,500 families or roughly 42,000 people have been displaced, officials and the WFP said.

“We hope this support for hungry families will help stabilize the situation,” the WFP’s Valerie Guarnieri said in a statement.

Guarnieri said that more food would be provided if the number of displaced continued to rise.

Jolo officials have appealed for medicines, blankets, tents and vitamins for those displaced, who are now being housed in schools converted into camps.

The MNLF was the country’s largest separatist group until it sealed a peace accord with Manila in 1996 and settled for limited autonomy.

Its leader, Nur Misuari, subsequently became governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. He lost the government’s support in 2001 amid charges of corruption, and his forces attacked targets in Jolo.

Sounds like it’s time for some serious applications of napalm in those jungles infested with this bunch of murderous vermin.

I hope no video was sent to NBC of the killings.

First of all, your tagline is very accurate.

I wish the same thing on these Abu Sayaff muzzies... if i will describe how vengeance should be done on them i would probably by banned in FR...

The Philippine Military should hit them bigtime... with ferocity and un-PC approach..

The Devil is really getting desperate in these last days...knowing what his ultimate destiny is. He is furious with Christians and Jews.

These martyred Christians of course were immediately united with the Lord God Almighty in Paradise.

Let me chip in with ChristianDefender, your tagline is excellent and spot on.

Thanks for the post, Cornpone.

I’ve lived in the Philippines and Indonesia. (Spent time in Mindanao, too). I wouldn’t go to a Muslim-infested area again unless I were carrying a .45.

Here’s what I think of the FALSE ‘prophet’ Mohammad: PORK BE UPON HIM.

....Abu-Ghraib, cry the liberals.........

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Asia pinglist.

The BBC article on this suggested that they were kidnapped and killed because they were nominal Christians.

[PA-RIVER]

It is peaceful if you surrender all freedom to its leaders and drink the kool aid.

Those who refuse to drink the kool aid are causing all the violence.
