Extremist group beheads captives in Philippines

Six road workers kidnapped by al-Qaeda-linked Muslim extremists were found beheaded on Thursday in the southern Philippine island of Jolo, the military said. The severed heads of the six mostly Christian workers were found in the jungles of Jolo by soldiers, four days after the workers were seized, said Major General Ruben Rafael.
