'''Abu Sayyaf''' is a Jihadist terror [[Militant Islam|militant]] group based in and around Jolo and Basilan islands in the southwestern part of the Philippines, where for more than four decades, Moro groups have been engaged in an insurgency for an independent province in the country. The group is considered very violent and was responsible for the Philippines worst terrorist attack, the bombing of Superferry 14 in 2004, which killed 116 people.
