Sailors worked like slaves with threat of beheading hanging over their heads

KUALA LUMPUR: Five Malaysian men held captive by Abu Sayyaf were fearing for their lives throughout their eight-month ordeal in the jungles of the southern Philippines as the Abu Sayyaf militants threatened to behead or shoot them.

Tayudin Anjut, one of two men rescued first, said they lived in the jungle and were moved from one place to another at night.
