Abu Sabaya - doorknob dead!
Senior Abu Sayyaf leader Abu Sabaya, responsible for the kidnapping of three Americans and numerous Filipinos, was bumped off killed in a clash with the Philippine military. Sabaya was one of three members of the Abu Sayyaf Muslim kidnapping group who were slain by elite naval troops in a clash in the southern province of Zamboanga del Norte. A military spokesman confirmed that three Abu Sayyaf members were killed but would not yet officially comment on whether Abu Sabaya was among them. A seven-man Abu Sayyaf band was trying to board a boat on the coast of Sibuco town in neighboring Zamboanga del Norte province when the clash occurred.
If the report is true, this is another milestone: Abu Sabaya, Juma Namangani, Abu Zubaydah, Mohammad Atef, Khattab... We're doing better than a lot of people want to admit.
