A member of Army intelligence was killed in an attack by an alleged member of terrorist network Jemaah Islamiyah in Basilan, a military report said Wednesday.
The report identified the victim as Pfc. Nurhasad Imlani, who was deployed with the 18th Infantry Battalion.
It said Imlani and two others were on a mission to verify the presence of JI members in Ungkaya Pukan town when they were attacked around 10:40 a.m. Tuesday by a band of five men led by Amin Baco, alias Abu Jihad, believed to be a member of JI.
Imlani was with S/Sgt. Laudencio and S/Sgt. Noel Conol on a motorcycle when the attack happened in Sungkayot village, the report said.
Later, pursuing troops caught up with Baco's fleeing group and engaged it in a firefight also in the village. No one was reported killed from either side in the second encounter.
