Additional military and police units were deployed in Talipao, Sulu to further stabilize the peace and order situation in the area.
This is in wake of the Abu Sayyaf Group Monday attack against civilians which resulted in the death of 23 people and wounding of at least eight more.
Western Mindanao Command head Lt. Gen. Rustico Guerrero said this is part of government efforts to prevent another possible outbreak of violence in wake of reports that relatives of the victims may conduct their attack against the perpetrators.
"That's part of the effort, the Brigade Commander and the Provincial Pirector have talked with the PPOC (Provincial Peace and Order Council) (and) the Governor, so that the expected relatialiation of the victims' relatives will not happen or will be prevented. This is a priority effort of the local government as well as the police and military," Guerrero concluded.
