SULU, Philippines – The Mujahideen of Abu Sayyaf killed seven Filipino marines and wounded 21 others who wanted to attack their camp in the jungle on Thursday (28/7/2011).
Around 30 marines did a maneuver in bad weather near the the Mujahideen camp in the villages of Patikul, south of Sulu Province, sparking off a shootout before dawn, said the military spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Randolph Cabangbang.
It is still unclear whether there was any casualty in the Mujahideen's camp led by Radulan Sahiron, one of the commanders who have long been wanted by America and the kafir authorities of Philippines for a series of bomb attacks and kidnappings.
The marines moved at night on a mission to capture Sahiron, a commander of the Abu Sayyaf believed to be hiding in one of those forest areas in Jolo island. But the Mujahideen fought fiercely which in the end killed 7 Filipino marines and wounded 21 others.
Washington has offered 1 million USD for the capture or killing of Sahiron and 5 million USD for Hapilon and Zulkifli bin Hir who is also known as Marwan. He is believed to be hiding in Sulu and serves as the leader of the Mujahideen there.
It needs to mentioned that on 6th July 2011, one Fillipino soldier was killed and five others wounded in an attack by the Mujahideen of Abu Sayyaf in the province of Sulu. They were attacked by around 30 Abu Sayyaf Mujahids led by Umbra Jumdail alias Doctor Abu. The attack was very swift, it only lasted for 15 minutes. It was reported that the Mujahideen of Abu Sayyaf suffered no loss.
