The ASG lost Muamar Askali, alias Abu Rami, who was killed in Barangay Napo, Inabanga, Bohol, last April 11. Then last Saturday, Joselito Melloria, a.k.a. Abu Alih, who purportedly assumed leadership of the mission and acted as their guide was also killed in Clarin with three of his men. That's a loss of two ASG leaders.

                    [Summary] => Now it can be told that the ill-fated mission of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) in Bohol revealed more about the top ranking ASG members than we knew. The ASG lost Muamar Askali, alias Abu Rami, who was killed in Barangay Napo, Inabanga, Bohol, last April 11. Then last Saturday, Joselito Melloria, a.k.a. Abu Alih, who purportedly assumed leadership of the mission and acted as their guide was also killed in Clarin with three of his men. That's a loss of two ASG leaders.
