MANILA, Philippines -- The U.S. ambassador to the Philippines
handed over a $10 million reward Thursday to four Filipino
informants whose tip led to the killing of the country's two top
terror suspects, the U.S. Embassy said.
It was the largest reward given so far by Washington in a
campaign to wipe out al-Qaida-linked militants in the southern
Philippines, where the U.S. military has been training and
advising Filipino troops.
The U.S. promised a reward of up to $5 million each for Abu
Sayyaf chieftain Khadaffy Janjalani, who was slain in a
September clash on southern Jolo island, and his presumed
successor, Abu Sulaiman, who was killed on Jolo in January.
