Suspected of being a military informer, a sub-leader of the Abu Sayyaf in Sulu province was killed by his nephew last March 20, according to a belated report reaching a source in the intelligence community.

The source, who asked to be cited only by the code “Pokemon,” said Khalid Sali was killed in his camp in Barangay Bud Bunga, Talipao town by Yasser Sahiron.

Sali was a known follower of Abu Sayyaf leader Radulan Sahiron. He was a former Moro National Liberation Front member who became a Philippine Army integree in 2000 before joining the extremist group in 2008.

Apparently, the source said, Sahiron had been convinced by two other Abu Sayyaf sub-leaders, Furuji Indama and Hatib Jajan Sawadjaan, that Khalid is an informant of the military.

“Subsequently Sahiron proceeded to the creek and Khalid’s group,” and opened fire, killing his uncle and wounding four of his men, including one identified as Juljimar Halon, “who suffered serious wounds.”
