| Nine soldiers and one civilian were killed after an unidentified gunman went on a rampage inside a patrol base in the southern Philippines, a military spokesman said on Sunday. Lieutenant Colonel Ernesto Torres said the army was investigating whether the civilian was behind the attack at around 2:30 a.m. (1830 GMT) on Saturday inside the camp, in Parang town on the island of Jolo. A soldier and the wife of one of the victims were also wounded in the shoot-out. "The slain unidentified civilian might have an involvement. As of the moment, we are investigating it. We are looking into possibilities. Why was there an unidentified civilian in the camp?" said Torres. "There was a firefight, an exchange of gunfire. When the battalion commander reinforced the area after it was reported to him, they were also fired upon," Torres said, adding that the camp was without electricity during the attack. |
