An Abu Sayyaf terrorist sub-leader was gunned down in
cold-blood by his own nephew while the victim was taking a bath in a creek in
Sulu, which the military said was instigated by jealousy, intrigue and the
sharing of ransom money collected by the terror group.
A military report identified the slain terrorist sub-leader
as Khalid Sali, trusted aide of Radullan Sahiron, overall leader of the Abu
Sayyaf Group (ASG) in Sulu and Basilan.
Sali’s killer was identified as Yasser Sahiron, his nephew.
The report said Sali was taking a bath together with four
bodyguards in a creek in Barangay Bud Bunga, Talipao, Sulu, last Sunday when
another ASG unit led by Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan arrived and brainwashed Khalid’s
nephew, Yasser Sahiron, telling the latter that Khalid was allegedly a military
informant.
This angered Yasser, who proceeded immediately to the creek
where Sali was taking a bath and without saying a word opened fire, killing his
helpless uncle and wounding his four bodyguards.
Intelligence reports said that animosity had set in between
the group of Sawadjaan and Sali, with the latter being suspected as a military
informer.
Sawadjaan suspected that Khalid was giving the military
information on the location of his group because they were always the target of
attacks by government security forces wherever they hid while Khalid was safe
at Radullan’s hideout.
Following a series of encounters with Army troopers from
Feb. 25 to 27, there were reports that the group of Sawadjaan planned to move
towards Indanan for safety.
The military report said that another allegation that led to
the killing of the Abu Sayyaf sub-leader was that Khalid had become more
arrogant toward his fellow sub-leaders because of his close ties with Radullan
and even outshone some of his senior sub-leaders in the group, particularly in
handling kidnapped victims’ ransom money.
It was likely that misunderstanding had erupted between the
group of Radullan and Sawadjaan due to these series of incidents, the military
said.
