At least four rebels have been killed while six others wounded in a clan war involving two Muslim rebel commanders in Sultan Kudarat today, local police said. Fierce fighting erupted late Tuesday at Pinguaman village, Lambayong, a town in Southern Philippine province of Sultan Kudarat, between the Commander Bansil's 106th Base Command of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the group's 105th Base Command led by Commander Bausad, town police commander Senior Inspector Emerson Policarpio told Xinhua by phone. The police officer said the skirmishes left four dead and two wounded on Bansil's side while four were injured in his opponent. More than 200 families have fled from their homes for fear of their safety. "We are on alert and we are making ways it will not escalate," he added. According to Mr. Policarpio, Bansil and Bausad have long been locked in dispute involving five hectares of land.
