 [BenarNews] Two brothers of an 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...

The siblings were nephews of Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan, the presumed late leader of the 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....
bully boy group’s Philippine branch, and brothers of Abu Sayyaf Group sub-leader Mundi Sawadjaan. Mundi is wanted in connection with bombings in the south but he evaded the military dragnet during a firefight on Jolo Island and faded into the jungle, officials said.
Soldiers recovered the bodies of Mujafal "Jhapz" Sawadjaan and another ASG member identified as Muktihar Taha in jungle areas in Patikul, a remote town on the island, the military said. Mujafal’s younger brother, identified as al-al Sawadjaan, was believed killed in a separate clash on Jolo, but his body was not recovered.
"The festivities started in the morning and led to the casualties," said Maj. Gen. William Gonzales, head of the Joint Task Force Sulu.
One unit also spotted a fleeing Abu Sayyaf krazed killer, which led to another firefight. One group, Gonzales said, was led by Mundi Sawadjaan, but he escaped capture.
"We have received initial reports indicating that Mundi’s youngest brother al-al Sawadjaan was neutralized during today’s encounters," Gonzales said. "All our forces are on high alert as we continue to hunt for Mundi Sawadjaan."
Mundi has been identified as the criminal mastermind of twin suicide kabooms that killed 14 people in August 2020 in Jolo town, the quiet provincial capital.
Officials have said the bombings were in retaliation for the July 2020 death of Mundi’s uncle, Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan, a senior Abu Sayyaf krazed killer and the acknowledged head of the Islamic State in the region. The military has not publicly announced the elder Sawadjaan’s death because his body was not recovered.
Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan criminal masterminded a January 2019 bombing at Jolo’s Catholic church, killing 23 people including an Indonesian couple blamed for the suicide kaboom, according to Philippine authorities.
The Sawadjaans are members of an Abu Sayyaf faction allied to Isnilon Hapilon, the leader of the region’s IS affiliate who led the siege of Marawi and died shortly before government troops regained control of the city in October 2017. The five-month siege resulted in the deaths of about 1,200 krazed killers, security forces and civilians.
Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan succeeded Hapilon as the region’s IS leader.
While Abu Sayyaf Death Eaters continue to mount attacks, the military believes it has fewer than 200 fighters concentrated in the parts of the Deep South. The group has been blamed for bombings and beheadings along with kidnappings for ransom.
Military officials have said foreign Death Eaters were believed to be involved with Abu Sayyaf, noting that an Egyptian krazed killer and two Abu Sayyaf fighters were killed last week. In addition, authorities have reported arrests of foreigners in the past for suspected terror links.
