Abu Sabaya aka Aldam Tilao. Born on the island of Malamawi, Philippines, he was believed to be the spokesman and one of the heads of the Abu Sayyaf militant organization in the Southern Philippines until he was killed in a shoot-out with Philippines special forces in 2002. On June 21, 2002, after being tracked for weeks by American and Filipino forces, Sabaya was confronted by The SWAG team (Special Warfare Group of the Philippine Navy) and after attempting to elude capture was shot and assumed killed after he was seen sinking into the ocean. Officials said they recovered Sabaya's backpack, his signature dark sunglasses and the satellite phone he used to communicate with local radio stations where he often taunted the government. According to the documentary "Stalking Jihad", the Philippine Navy's SWAG team was supported by a team from DEVGRU. This image represents what they may have looked like on that mission. |
