From ABS-CBN (Dec 11): 2 BIFF men killed in Maguindanao
Two members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) were killed in an encounter with government soldiers in Datu Unsay town, Maguindanao on Wednesday.
Capt. Joan Petinglay, spokesperson of the Philippine Army's 6th Infantry Division, said Sapitula Unsi alias Jonex and Totoc Lucong were killed after engaging soldiers in a gunbattle in Barangay Maitumaig.
Petinglay said the BIFF soldiers, on board a motorcycle, fired shots at members of the 45th Infantry Battalion along a national highway. This forced the government soldiers to fire back.
One of the slain bandits was also confirmed to have participated in the attack at the Maguindanao Integrated Provincial Health Office last October which left two security guards dead.
Soldiers recovered a pistol and a grenade from the slain suspects.
The BIFF is a breakaway group of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), which has forged a peace pact with the government for the creation of the Bangsamoro entity.
