THE VICTIMS<br />
DECAPITATION OF WORKERS, JOLO,<br />
APRIL 20, 2007<br />
7 dead<br />
On April 16, 2007, on Jolo, ASG<br />
members kidnapped seven workers in<br />
two separate incidents on a road<br />
outside of Parang. ASG leader Albader<br />
Parad made a public ransom demand<br />
of one million pesos, approximately<br />
US $21,500, for the workers’ return. It<br />
is not known whether any negotiations<br />
were carried out. On April 20, ASG<br />
decapitated the seven workers,<br />
dumping six of the bodies near Parang,<br />
and leaving the seven heads in sacks<br />
at two nearby military posts.<br />
The bodies of six of the seven workers decapitated by the Abu Sayyaf<br />
Group on April 20, lying on the back of a truck in Parang, Jolo.<br />
