TWENTY-one prisoners including three top leaders of the militant al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf group were killed when police stormed a maximum security jail to end a day-old prison revolt, an official said today.

Manila police chief Avelino Razon named three of the dead as Galib Andang, alias Commander Robot, Alhamser Limbong, alias Commander Kosovo believed to be the ringleader of the revolt, and Nadjmi Sabdulla, alias Commander Global.
The 18 others were unidentified, Mr Razon said, adding that police recovered eight firearms from the rioters.


Six policemen were wounded, he said.

He said the authorities were still clearing the Camp Bagong Diwa jail.

Gunshots were heard about midday (local time), an hour after the assault was completed, when police flushed out an Abu Sayyaf suspect from a prison toilet, Mr Razon said.
