Egyptian, Two Abu Sayyaf Militants Killed in Jolo: Philippines Military
[BenarNews] Philippine troops have killed an Egyptian murderous Moslem and two Filipino members of the bully boy Abu Sayyaf
...also known as al-Harakat al-Islamiyya, an Islamist terror group based in Jolo, Basilan and Zamboanga. Since its inception in the early 1990s, the group has carried out bombings, kidnappings, murders, head choppings, and extortion in their uniquely Islamic attempt to set up an independent Moslem province in the Philippines. Abu Sayyaf forces probably number less than 300 cadres. The group is closely allied with remnants of Indonesia's Jemaah Islamiya and has loose ties with MILF and MNLF who sometimes provide cannon fodder...
in a clash on the southern island of Jolo, the military said Saturday.

Troops from the 4th Light Reaction Company encountered an undetermined number of Abu Sayyaf Group members in the village of Igasan, Patikul late on Friday, triggering a shootout that led to casualties in the rebel side, said Lt. Gen. Corleto Vinluan, commander of Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom).

He identified the slain Egyptian only as "Yusop," believed to be one of five foreign Death Eaters fighting alongside the pro-Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group on Jolo.
A jihad tourist, come to join a kewler battlefront than his own back home.
"He is the stepson of Abduramil, an Egyptian national who was neutralized by the military in (the town of) Indanan in Sulu last November 2019," Vinluan said.

Yusop’s mother was identified as Reda Mohammad Mahmud, an Egyptian national also known as Sitti Aiza, a jacket wallah who blew herself up at a military detachment in 2019. No one was injured in that attack because she set off the bomb prematurely.

"He is one of the five remaining foreign Lions of Islam monitored in Sulu," Vinluan said, referring to Yusop.
Another jihad clan, this one mostly wiped out before they married locals and spawned a second generation of jacket wallahs and cannon fodder.
Slain with Yusop were Abu Khattab Jundullah, a bomb expert of the Abu Sayyaf, and Akram, a trusted lieutenant of Mundi Sawdjaan, Vinluan said.

Mundi Sawadjaan is a nephew of Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan, a senior Abu Sayyaf commander who took over as head of Islamic State’s Philippine affiliate after Isnilon Hapilon was killed in the siege of the southern city of Marawi in 2017.

Philippine authorities have blamed Mundi for planning a suicide kaboom that killed 14 people in August 2020 in Jolo, the capital of Sulu province. In January 2019, 23 people were killed when an Indonesian couple blew themselves up in Jolo’s Catholic cathedral.

Col. Benjamin Batara, Commander of the 1102nd Infantry Brigade, said soldiers had recovered the bodies of the slain murderous Moslems.

"During the clash, reinforcements were immediately deployed to conduct blocking and pursuit operations in the possible enemy withdrawal routes," Batara said, noting that three high-powered weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the site.

"We are utilizing all our air, naval, and ground assets to conduct all-out offensives against the remaining foreign Lions of Islam and Abu Sayyaf Group members in our area of operation," the Army official added.
