Two Abu Sayyaf militants killed in Sulu clash
[Inquirer] An Abu Sayyaf sub-leader and an unidentified man were killed in a clash on Tuesday afternoon in Talipao town, in Sulu.

Military spokesman Divino Rey Pabayo said that troops clashed with five Abu Sayyaf rebels in a ten-minute firefight. The group was believed to be led by sub-leader Angah Ajid, whose body was left along with that of the unidentified man at the scene.

Ajid, who had been listed as a high-value target, was involved in a kidnapping in Sipadan on April 23, 2000.
