From the Philippine News Agency (Oct 12): Gunfire rouse Maguindanao villagers
from sleep
Around 50 unidentified armed men strafed houses a few kilometers away from the
town hall of Datu Montawal town in Maguindanao, the military here said.
No one was injured but the hail of gunfire which occurred around midnight
until 4:00 a.m. Friday sent Muslim villagers into panic, according to Colonel
Benjamin Hao.
Hao, chief of the Army's 7th Infantry Battalion, said a check with local
residents showed that the gunmen, in full battle gear, arrived in the village
and without provocation opened fire indiscriminately.
"We are now helping the local police determine the identities of the gunmen
and their real motive for the shooting frenzy," Hao said.... Montawal is a known gateway to the 220,000-hectare Liguasan Marsh, a known
area identified with the MILF....
