Philippines militant group beheads Canadian hostage

The Philippine militant group Abu Sayyaf says it has beheaded the Canadian hostage Robert Hall, who they have held captive since September...

The announcement came after a deadline passed for a 13-million dollar ransom for Hall and two other hostages - a Norwegian and Filipino.

They were abducted from a resort in the Philippines last September along with Canadian John Ridsdel, who was killed earlier this year.
