Al-Qaeda in the Philippines....

Some nice work here...

Al Qaeda-linked militants in the Philippines have beheaded one of three Filipino factory workers they seized in the troubled south of the country last month, an official said Wednesday.

Witnesses said they saw two men believed to be militants from the Abu Sayyaf group abandon a package at a park on the southern island of Basilan, triggering panic, said Al Rasheed Sakalahul, the provincial vice governor.

Residents feared the package was a bomb and promptly alerted police.

But the parcel turned out to contain the severed head of Mark Singson, one of three workers at the Hitech Wood Craft Corp. seized by heavily-armed Abu Sayyaf militants from Basilan's Maluso town on November 10.

"The severed head of the victim was found stuffed inside a plastic bag and abandoned at a park," Sakalahul said.
