From the Mindanao Examiner (Mar 8, 2021): Sayyafs kill 2 brothers in Basilan
Members of the pro-ISIS group Abu Sayyaf on Monday killed 2 Muslim brothers and allegedly beheaded one of them who was a pro-government militia in the southern Philippine province of Basilan, reports said.It said the duo was ambushed in the village called Guiong in Sumisip town, a known lair of the terrorists group. The bodies of the slain men were recovered by their family.
There was no immediate statement from authorities, but the gruesome killings occurred two weeks after unidentified assailants had decapitated statues of Catholic saints in the small chapel of San Isidro Labrador in Lamitan City, also in Basilan, one of the 5 provinces under the Muslim autonomous region.
The attack on the church coincided with the Roman Catholic observance of Ash Wednesday and police are investigating the incident.
No individual or group claimed responsibility for the desecration of the chapel, but suspicions fell heavily on the Abu Sayyaf and other pro-ISIS groups violently fighting for the establishment of a caliphate. (Zamboanga Post)
