| 2015-03-21 |
| A ranking Abu Sayyaf militant was killed by his nephew, also a member of the armed group, in Talipao, Sulu last Monday. Sub-leader Khalid Sali was shot by his nephew Yasser Sahiron. The Philippine military said Sahiron opened fire at Khalid's group, killing his uncle and wounding four others. Sahiron was convinced by Abu Sayyaf sub-leaders Furuji Indama and Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan that his uncle was a military informant. Following the incident, Sawadjaan's group headed towards Indanan, Sulu to evade law enforcement operations launched in the area by government troops. |
