MANILA, Philippines (AP) - Maria Fe Rosadeno huddled with the other hostages in a small hut, as their Muslim extremist guards led her American fiance away into the jungle, his hands bound behind his back. It was the last time they saw him. Guillermo Sobero was beheaded in 2001 by the al-Qaida.
Rosadeno recalls hearing his voice ringing out in the night as he exclaimed, "Jesus!" Fellow captives tried to reassure Rosadeno that her fiance probably had just stumbled and would be back soon.

November 20, 1979 Grand Mosque Seizure: Surprising many who believed fundamentalism was not a strong force in Saudi Arabia, Sunni Islamic dissidents seized control of the Grand Mosque at Mecca, one of the holiest sites in Islam. The (200) armed dissidents charged that the Al Saud regime had lost its legitimacy due to corruption and its closer ties to Western nations. The standoff lasted for several weeks before the Saudi military succeeded in removing the dissidents. More than 200 troops and dissidents were killed at the mosque, and subsequently over 60 dissidents were publicly beheaded.
