Three killed in clash between Abu Sayyaf, MNLF militants
[GMA News] Three people were killed and another injured in a clash between the Abu Sayyaf and a Moro National Liberation Front militant in Indanan town in Sulu on Friday afternoon.An investigation showed the incident occurred when Abu Sayyaf militants, led by a son of Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Sibih Pisih, shot and injured a certain Sakur Madjang in Sitio Santol. Then the rebels burned Madjang's house. Madjang's brother, Gabir, responded and engaged the Abu Sayyaf men in a gun battle. Gabir, an MNLF militant who had been integrated into the Armed Forces of the Philippines under the 1996 peace agreement, was killed in the clash. Also killed during the 15-munute battle was Mursid Amdanan, who was with the Madjang brothers; and the son of the Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Sibih Pisih. The Abu Sayyaf rebels had suspected the Madjangs were military informants who they blamed for the death of Abu Sayyaf militant Abu Quodama last February 7. Posted by: ryuge 2016-02-22 |
