That was my first reaction. Abu Sayyaf is a terrorist group in the Philippines, but.. A person’s name? Something’s not right here. Maybe they killed Al-Baghdadi? Now, that would be a hit, although he’s probably already dead.
..... Yup ..... either more great investigative reporting by CNN or the Whitehouse was in such a rush to get the hastily prepared talking points out to the party faithful media wonks that they forgot to fact check their own report. Perhaps a fine mix of both.
