Wanted terrorist killed in Philippine jungle
This guy was on the FBI's most wanted terrorist list. Maybe the world is just a tad bit safer now. Unless of course his successor is a raving, blood-thirsty lunatic. Keep your fingers crossed.
A militant leader linked to Al Qaeda and wanted in the beheading of a Californian tourist, was killed in a jungle battle, the Philippine army announced today. Jainal Antel Sali Jr., also known as Abu Solaiman, was reportedly attacked by special forces in a raid on an Abu Sayyaf hideout on Jolo Island, about 600 miles south of Manila.
You can run and you can hide from the US but eventually some other country's soldiers are going to kill you. We're not very good at catching people.
Sali was buried today on Jolo Island after relatives and friends identified the body. He had bullet hole in his chest and a piece of wood, about an inch long, embedded in his left cheek.
Wonder which one hurt more. As if it's not bad enough you get a bullet slammed through your ribcage, but a splinter too? Those hurt.
Sali was on the FBI's list of "Most Wanted Terrorists" and the State Department offered a reward of up to $5 million for his capture.
Well technically he wasn't captured but hey, that's just splitting hairs.
