US forensic experts confirm corpse was Abu Sayyaf chieftain
Jan 20, 2007, 6:55 GMT

Manila - United States forensic experts have confirmed that the corpse recovered in a shallow grave on a southern island was the chieftain of al-Qaeda-linked Muslim Abu Sayyaf rebels, the Philippine military chief said Saturday.

Armed force chief General Hermogenes Esperon said the decomposing body found last month on Jolo island, 1,000 kilometres south of Manila, was Abu Sayyaf chieftain Khadaffi Janjalani.

Esperon said that the DNA sample of the corpse suspected to be that of the Abu Sayyaf chieftain matched with Janjalani's brother, Hector who is detained at a jail in the Philippine capital.

Janjalani, included in the United States' most wanted list of terrorists, was believed to have died from wounds suffered during an encounter with soldiers in Patikul town on Jolo.

The US has offered 5 million dollars for information that would lead to the arrest and prosecution of Janjalani, who took over the helm of the Abu Sayyaf after his elder brother, Abu Sayyaf founder Abubakar Abdurajak, died in December 1998.

Janjalani has been indicted in US courts for alleged involvement in terrorist attacks, including the kidnapping of three American hostages, two of whom were killed in captivity.

Other attacks that the Abu Sayyaf committed during his leadership were the bombing of a ferry off a Manila port in 2004, killing more than 100 people, and the kidnapping of 21 Western tourists and Asian workers from the Malaysian resort island of Sipadan in 2000.

Earlier in the week another senior Abu Sayyaf leader, Abu Solaiman, was killed in a clash with marines in the hinterlands of Talipao also on Jolo island.

Some 1,500 more marines were to be deployed next week in the nearby island of Basilan to boost the relentless military operations against the Abu Sayyaf on Jolo.
