Filipino Terror Chief Possibly Dead

(Manila, Philippines) According to authorities, terrorism chief Khaddafy Janjalani, aka Khadafi Abubakar Janjalani, may have died in a firefight several months ago.

As the leader of the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group linked to al-Qaeda, Janjalani is the most-wanted terrorist in the Philippines and even has a $5 million U.S. bounty on his head for the kidnapping and murder of an American in 2002.

Captured Abu Sayyaf members led officials to Janjalani's suspected grave. The FBI is assisting in forensic examination of the remains and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Although it's probably spiritually incorrect, I believe that decomposing terrorist scumbags make for a happy holiday season.
