MANILA, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Muslim militants beheaded a school principal on a remote southern island in the Philippines after holding him for ransom for three weeks, a marine general said on Monday.
Major-General Ben Dolorfino, commander of military forces in the western part of Mindanao region, said the victim's decapitated head was found at a petrol station in the capital town on Jolo island.
"We were told the school principal was beheaded on Sunday when the negotiations to free him bogged down," Dolorfino said.
