Bookmark and Share

How did the Philippines hunt down Abu Sayyaf leaders and others terrorizing the southern Philippines with hostage takings and beheadings? With the help of the United States military and their own brand of justice, that's how.

There have been numerous recent successes. Abu Sayyaf leader, Khadaffy Janjalani, was confirmed killed in September. Also an Abu Sayyaf commander, Abu Sulaiman, was killed in January 2007.

In an article this month in The Atlantic, Mark Bowden reports on the actions and strategies that brought about successes such as these.
