#1 Update: Jainal Antel Sali, popularly known as Abu Sulaiman - a top leader of the Abu Sayyaf rebel group - was fatally shot Tuesday in a fierce gunbattle with army special forces on the mountainous southern island of Jolo, military chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon said, confirming earlier reports of the militant's death. Esperon displayed a picture of the slain militant then triumphantly stood up to scribble an 'X' across Sulaiman's face on a U.S. poster of most-wanted terror suspects.

Jolo villagers, a rebel informant and one of the wives of the slain rebel have identified his body after the clash between the army's 8th Special Forces Company and about 60 Abu Sayyaf gunmen on Jolo's Bud Daho mountain, about 950 kilometres south of Manila, Esperon said.

#2 Thanks Steve, this is great news. So the list goes Kaddaffi Janjalani-Killed on Jolo, Abu Sabayya-killed off Basiland, Hamjarabi Sali-killed on Basiland, Abu Soliman-killed on Basiland, Abu Soliaman-Killed on Jolo, Andang- cdr Robot-Killed in Manila prison, and Insalon Hapilon-killed in Milbuk.

I believ this is to be the "complete" list of key leaders involved in the kidnapping of Americans Martin and Gracie Burnham and Gene Sobrerro back in June 2001. Their actions resulted in the shooting death of Martin and they beheaded Gene. The US never forgets, never quits, and in this case took no prisoners! Great job!

#5 49 Pan -
Sounds quite a lot like the plot line of the movie 'Munich' (without the sex line.) CIA imitating Mossad (could do worse)?
