Singapore terrorist killed by Philippine military

At least 15 Islamic extremists, including three senior leaders, were killed in an air raid in Parang town in Sulu at dawn Thursday.

Abu Sayyaf commander Umbra Jumdail (aka Abu Pula), and Jemaah Islamiyah leaders Zulkifli bin Hir or Marwan, and Abdullah Ali (aka Muawiyah Anjala), were the senior leaders killed in the air strikes, said military spokesman Colonel Arnulfo Burgos.

Zulkifli is a Malaysian leader of Jemaah Islamiyah, the militant organization blamed for some of Southeast Asia’s deadliest terrorist attacks including the 2002 Bali bombings which killed more than 200 people.

Muawiyah, who goes by many aliases, was a Singaporean member of JI who fled to the Philippines shortly after the Bali bombings, according to a Philippine military intelligence officer.

He was a former member of the Singaporean military with the rank of Major. He was also a JI member affiliated with the Abu Sayyaf.
