My comments :  
 
This shooting is part of an ongoing military campaign in the Sulu areas.
 
President Rodrigo Duterte is delivering as promised. He promised the Abu Sayyaf a 'day of reckoning'.  Duterte has gone straight for the jugular. He has wiped out the Muktadil brothers who were at the top of Mindanao's "beheading incorporated".
 
I think Duterte will now offer an amnesty to all Abu Sayyaf who lay down weapons. 
 
Why couldnt we achieve the same results? Of course these guys were holed up in Mindanao but where is our intelligence on this? We spent so much money. 
 
I am sure some people on this side of the sea will be very disappointed that the Muktadil brothers have been killed.  A big source of free money has just been blown out of the Sulu Sea. 

The military operations in the Sulu are still ongoing.  Sabah Police must be on the lookout for refugees and bad guys running away to the East Coast of Sabah. 

In fact I am surprised that Sabah Police or ESSCOM have not yet intercepted even one pump boat running away from the military ops in the Sulu.    

Not only are there many things not right in Mindanao there are also many things not right in Sabah.
