Philippines says kills top Abu Sayyaf militant
Published: 12.16.07, 08:45 / Israel News
Philippine troops killed a senior Islamic militant wanted by the United States after they raided his safe house in the restive south of the archipelago, officials said on Sunday.
Mobin Abdurajak, a leader of the Abu Sayyaf group, was wanted for kidnapping 21 people from the Malaysian resort island of Sipadan in 2000. The victims were freed after a ransom was paid. “The neutralization of Abdurajak is part of our campaign to eliminate the Abu Sayyaf terrorists,” regional navy chief Rear Admiral Emilio Marayag said.
