American captive's wife had a son with Abu Sayyaf leader

QUEZON CITY, (ABS-CBN) - The American hostage of the Abu Sayyaf group in Sulu reportedly went to the guerillas' lair to get back the son of his wife, which she formerly sired with one of the group's leaders.

This is was what sources said over the weekend after noting the reason for Jeffrey Schilling's wilingness to face the Abu Sayyaf at their lair in Jolo province.

On Saturday, Schilling urged the guerilla group to release his seven year old son which his wife, Ivy Osani, initially bore from a former relationship with one of the Janjalani brothers.

The Janjalanis are the original founders of the Abu Sayyaf.
