Two Filipino army intel officers killed by Abu Sayyaf
A Philippine military commander says two army intelligence officers have been killed by suspected al-Qaeda-linked terrorists militants while on a surveillance mission on Basilan Island.
Col. Carlito Galvez says two suspected Abu Sayyaf terrorists militants on a motorcycle gunned down the two soldiers Sunday in Lamitan city. The gunmen are believed to be part of an urban-based hit squad.
Galvez says the Abu Sayyaf has also given sanctuary on the island to some foreign terrorists militants linked to Jemaah Islamiyah.
