The Central Mindanao unit of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) arrested at the weekend a suspected member of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) tagged in the ambush-killing of two soldiers in October this year in Maguindanao.

Detectives of the CIDG Central Mindanao under Police Supt. Cholijun Caduyac, together with the Army's 45th Infantry Battalion, in Barangay Timbangan, Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao collared Zainudin Kawilan, AKA Indal and Zai.

According to Police Director Benjamin B. Magalong, CIDG chief, Kawilan was caught in possession of a fragmentation grenade, a caliber .45 pistol, shotgun ammunition, 60 mm mortar ammunition and a backpack with assorted wires.

He is a known BIFF member and was allegedly one of the assailants in the ambush-killing of two soldiers in October 2014, Magalong said.

Kawilan is under the custody of the CIDG Central Mindanao office, and will be facing charges for murder and violations of the Comprehensive Law on Firearms and Ammunition (RA 10591), and Illegal Possession of Firearms, Ammunition and Explosives (RA 9516).
