Troopers from the Western Mindanao Command are conducting
pursuit operations against the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) bandits who traded shots
with Barangay Police Action Team (BPAT) members near Barangay Kiyutaan,
Talipao, Sulu on Saturday morning.
Western Mindanao Command spokesperson Capt. Rowena Muyuela
said the encounter took place at about 6:05 a.m. after some 30 ASG bandits
harassed the BPAT members led by Councilor Lakim Uddin.
The ASGs were reportedly headed by sub-leaders Angga Adji
and Roger Saji.
Muyuela said the bandits started their attack by firing
several M-203 grenade launcher rounds at Lakim's group, prompting the latter to
retaliate.
The firefight lasted for almost 10 minutes that resulted in
the wounding of one BPAT member identified as Akmad Aburan.
