Philippine Court Convicts 14 in Kidnapping Case
"A Philippine court on Thursday convicted 14 members of the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group in the 2001 kidnapping of 20 people off an island resort, including three Americans, two of whom were eventually killed.
There were accusations of collusion between Abu Sayyaf and some elements of the military, particularly after the kidnappers escaped from a hospital in Basilan that had been surrounded by soldiers. A subsequent Senate investigation found “circumstantial evidence” of collusion between the militants and some civilian and military officials.
Well, HELLO, "Al-CIA-Duh," huh?
Gracia Burnham, a missionary from Wichita, Kan., in her book “In the Presence of My Enemies,” alleged that a Philippine general had colluded with Abu Sayyaf, even demanding half of the ransom paid for some of the hostages. The military has repeatedly denied these allegations."
And he was working for AmeriKa, right?
