From Tempo (Dec 20): Slain BIFF man tagged in soldiers’ death
Military authorities confirmed that the slain leader of Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) who was killed in an encounter with government forces in Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao, was the one responsible in the killing of two soldiers inside the Maguindanao provincial health hospital last October.
Lt. Col. Romeo Bautista, 45th Infantry Battalion commander, said the slain BIFF leader was identified as Maguid Abdul alias “Commander Kamote” who was killed after their group engaged the combined forces of Army soldiers and militiamen in Barangay Labu-Labu in Shariff Aguak town last Wednesday.
He said at least 10 BIFF rebels tried to attack the post of Barangay Peace Action Team (BPAT) but were repulsed by militiamen and soldiers who were deployed in the area.
Troops launched pursuit operations against the rebels who withdrew toward Barangay Lambuay, Datu Hofer.
No casualty was reported on the government side.
Authorities said Abdul led the attack on the provincial hospital last October 9 which resulted in the killing of two Army soldiers.
