In Focus: Sulu Gun Culture

Produced by Orlando de Guzman in association with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. The Sulu archipelago in the southern Philippines has been the target of a U.S.- assisted counter-insurgency program since 2003, and American troops have helped rout the Abu Sayyaf rebel group. But it remains a dangerous place. Heavily armed rival clans have created an environment of ongoing violence largely unrelated to radical Islam - it's local politics through the barrel of a gun. http://www.pulitzercenter.org/showproject.cfm?id=105 May 2009 News: Col. Julasirim Kasim, the main character featured in the video, was killed in an ambush by Abu Sayyaf militants on Thursday May 7th in Maimbung, Sulu.
