From InterAksyon (Feb 17): Military checking on reports of 2 foreign terrorists spotted in Maguindanao

The 6th Infantry Division is checking on information that two foreign terrorists have been spotted in Maguindanao.

While the information is being verified, members of the 6th ID are on alert, said information chief Major Dante Gania.

According to the information, two Malaysians, both highly trained in the manufacture of bombs, are now hiding in the province and are poised to sow terror any time.

The two may join the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, which split with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, which recently concluded its peace talks with the Philippine government.

In connection with these, checkpoints have been set up in various parts of the province and government forces have been deployed in and out of Maguindanao, said Gania.

The authorities have not stopped trying to run after BIFF officials.

At the same time, some BIFF forces have been spotted in the boundary of North Cotabato and Maguindanao, according to sources.
