The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is now validating
reports claiming that Nazmil Sali, allegedly a trusted aide of Abu Sayyaf Group
(ASG) leader Radullan Sahiron, was fatally shot by a fellow bandit during a
heated altercation last Monday.
"We are validating this report regarding the killing of
Nazmil Sali, and we are also verifying the report that he was indeed the former
Army captain, Capt. Khalid Sali who went AWOL (absence without leave) in 2008,
or seven years ago," AFP public affairs office chief Lt. Col. Harold
Cabunoc said.
Sali was allegedly fatally shot by one ASG operative named
Akil, reportedly the nephew of "Cmdr. Putol"during an heated
altercation Monday (March 16)at Kabuntakas, Patikul, Sulu.
The caused for the shooting is still being determined.
Sali allegedly was former Moro National Liberation Front
integree who joined the 6th Infantry Division early 2000 and defected to the
ASG side in 2008.
The former is a nephew of deceased MNLF Sulu vice chair for
military affairs Tahir Sali and grandson of Usman Sali, the MNLF commander
implicated in the 1977 Patikul massacre which resulted in the death of then 1st
Infantry Division commander Brig. Gen. Teodulfo Bautista and 34 other military
personnel on Oct. 10, 1977.
Baustista and his men were tricked by Sali into going to
Patikul for peace talks.
