133 Abu Sayyaf killed, 164 wounded in Sulu in 2015, says AFP

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer (Jan 1): 133 Abu Sayyaf killed, 164 wounded in Sulu in 2015, says AFP

A total of 133 Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) members were killed and 164 were wounded in government security operations in Sulu in 2015, military data showed.

But the report of Joint Task Group Sulu said that of the 133 slain Abu Sayyaf, only 12 bodies were recovered.

An Army official, who declined to be quoted for his lack of authority to speak to the media, explained that this was because the ASG found it “taboo” to leave a comrade behind.
