MANILA, Philippines — A member of the Abu Sayyaf kidnap-for-ransom group captured after a gunfight at sea died in a hospital yesterday.

Abu Ayub, 22, died of a heart attack, said Gen. Ernesto Carolina.

The military said Ayub and three other survivors of the gun battle told them their leader, Abu Sabaya, was severely wounded before disappearing in the water. His body has not been found.

Justice has been served!

Justice came too late.

[Dialup Llama]

Definitely heart failure.

[Focault's Pendulum]

Abu Ayub, 22, died of a heart attack,

......uhh....ok....I believe it.

[Ciexyz]

God is just.

[Mamzelle]

No martyr, no 72 babes and 28 boys...

"Definitely heart failure."

Darn, you beat me to it! <G>

[Clara Lou]

God is just.
Indeed, He is, but how is that pertinent?

[Mark17]

Definitely heart failure.

Do you think it weas heart failure, brought on by a rifle bullet? Either way, the world will not miss him.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

That's what I'm thinking, too. A person of 22 dying of a heart attack? Yeah, right. They don't want to give us the satisfaction of killing him in battle.

So if this guy died of a heart attack (at age 22) and not in battle, does that mean that he doesn't get his 72 virgins and a catered smorgasbord in Paradise?

Definitely heart failure.

Definitely. The patient needed rest, but the doctors kept asking him questions.

does that mean that he doesn't get his 72 virgins and a catered smorgasbord in Paradise?

I think it means he gets a 72 year old prostitute and a package of Jimmy Dean's Sausage.

Abu Ayub, 22, died of a heart attack, said Gen. Ernesto Carolina.

Maybe he can get an 18 year old to die from Altzhiemer's next.

"The patient needed rest, but the doctors kept asking him questions. "

The questions didn't cause the stress --- it was the vice on the certain parts to induce answers.

[general_re]

The patient needed rest, but the doctors kept asking him questions.

It wasn't the questions, it was the cruel and unusual material they used.

[SuperLuminal]

What we need is an epidemic of post-interrogation heart attack deaths at Camp X-ray.

This Nation has adopted every other Soviet attribute in the past 10 years, why not at least one that would contribute to safety of the peasants.

[MizSterious]

Hmmm. Would a bullet to the heart constitute a heart attack? (heart attacked by gunman)

[Redcloak]

Abu Sabaya, was severely wounded before disappearing in the water. His body has not been found.

Ya gotta love them reef sharks!

[mewzilla]

Seems to me you've just hit on a new and imaginative interrogation technique for those detainees down at Gitmo...

[Redcloak]

Yup... 10 yards of line, a bucket of chicken blood from the local meat market, a ladle, and a small boat to tow the jihadi around the bay; that's all you need for some top notch conversation from our Gitmo guests.
