| [Gulf Today] Three Abu Sayyaf insurgents and a soldier were killed when Philippine security forces raided and captured their bomb-making factory on the island province of Basilan. Ten others were injured, seven soldiers and three militants, in the clash that happened in a remote village in the town of Mohammed Ajul on Thursday morning. The slain soldier was a member of the elite army rangers who have launched pursuit operations against the insurgents who fled into the jungle after a four-hour gun battle that led to their camp's capture. Among those being pursued is a Malaysian national, not yet identified but described as an expert-bomb maker. |
