| 2008-04-10 |
| A suspected "logistics guy" of the Abu Sayyaf was killed in Pandami Island in Sulu on Saturday, a military official said Monday. Major Eugene Batara, spokesman of the Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom), said the body of the suspect, Sam Andal, was brought here on Sunday morning since no relative claimed his body. Batara said they tried to give Andal's body to his wife, but she refused to receive it. "We discovered from the wife that this man had been estranged from his family for more than a year now," he said. Andal was killed in an encounter with government forces in the village of Parian Dakula on Pandami Island on Saturday night. Soldiers also recovered an M16 Armalite rifle, an M79 grenade launcher, and a rifle grenade. |
