Malaysian Businessman Beheaded in the Philippines

I’m shocked! I thought Malaysia and the Philippines were where all the moderate Muslims were. The Star:

KOTA KINABALU: Sarawakian Bernard Then, held hostage by the Abu Sayyaf terror group, has been killed in the southern Philippines.

He was beheaded by the gunmen at about 4pm in the island of Jolo.

Then is the first Malaysian hostage to have been beheaded by the Abu Sayyaf.

Brigadier-General Alan Arrojado, commander of the Joint Task Group Sulu, confirmed that Then was decapitated.

Sources from the military and social workers in the Philippines are indicating that the 39-year-old electrical engineer was killed by the Abu Sayyaf gunmen who were being pursued by Philippine military in the Butaran Hill area around Indanan village in Jolo island.
