Duterte Warns Abu Sayyaf: I Will Eat You Alive...!

After hurling invectives at US President Barack Obama, the foul-mouthed Duterte turned his ire on the Abu Sayyaf, the al-Qaeda-linked terror group that has denied involvement in last week’s bomb attack that killed 14 people and wounded 67 others in the President’s hometown of Davao City.
Defending his tough stance against criminality, he said lawless elements like terrorists were already “beyond redemption.”
Referring to the Abu Sayyaf, he said: “Go ahead. Set off bombs. Time will come when I will eat you in front of the people. I will devour you and if I have to, erase you.”
The President flew here to attend the 28th and 29th summits of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, his first foreign travel since he took office on June 30.
Known for his expletive-laced speeches, Duterte cursed at Obama moments before he flew here Monday night, prompting the American leader to call off their bilateral meeting scheduled for today. (bass/newsinfo.inquirer.ne)
