Two Jehovah's Witnesses beheaded by al-Qaida group

MUSLIM extremists linked to al-Qaida beheaded two of six Jehovah’s Witnesses they kidnapped in the southern Philippines and dumped their heads in a public market.

Brig. Gen. Romeo Tolentino, army commander on the southern island of Jolo, said the heads of the two male hostages were found in bags with notes denouncing them as “infidels.”

The bags were left at food stands about 100 yards apart at the main market in the town of Jolo. The attached notes called for “jihad” or Islamic holy war, included a passage from the Quran and were written in Arabic and the local Tausug dialect, Tolentino said.
