    This is a feeble effort by propagandists supporting the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Movement/Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFM/BIFF) fighting against Philippine military forces during Operation Dark Horse in Maguindanao and North Cotabato provinces in the Southern Philippines..

    The photo is meant to prove that the Philippine military suffered numerous dead in recent fighting against BIFM/BIFF and that the battle was not as one-sided as Philippine Army spokespersons had been telling the Philippine media.

    One problem though. This photo does not depict AFP casualties from the recent fighting against the BIFM/BIFF but rather is of military casualties suffered in Sulu during operations against the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) in May 2013.

    See the Philippine Daily Inquirer article entitled "Slain soldiers in Sulu were on test mission" dated May 27, 2013. The photo above appears as part of that press report.

    See the URL below for the article and photo:
