From Malaya (Apr 10): Malaysian-led terror team kills intel agent
AN Army intelligence operative was shot dead Tuesday in Ungkaya Pukan town in Basilan by members of the Southeast Asian regional terrorist network Jemaah Islamiah.
The military yesterday said the six-man JI group was led by Malaysian Amin Baco alias Abu Jihad.
The slain soldier, Pfc. Nurhasad Imlani detailed with the Army’s 18th Infantry Battalion, and fellow intelligence personnel S/Sgt. Laudencio and S/Sgt. Noel Conol, were aboard two motorcycles when fired at by the group in Kurilim junction in Sungkayot village.
A three-minute firefight ensued, leading to the death of Imlani.
Baco’s group withdrew towards the east. Pursuing troops later caught up with the group in Sungkayot village, also in Unkaya Pukan town, triggering another firefight which lasted a few minutes.
A number of JI operatives have been operating in the Philippines for about a decade now. The Bureau of Immigration listed Baco as among operatives being hunted by security forces.
