Troopers from the military's Joint Task Group Basilan are
now pursuing the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) band led by sub-leaders Juhaibel
Alamsirul, and Pasil Bayali following an encounter at Barangay Pamatsaken,
Sumisip, Basilan Tuesday morning.
Government security forces were conducting routine law
enforcement operations when they encountered the ASG bandits at around 11 a.m.
A sharp firefight lasted for 15 minutes and the bandits
immediately retreated after sensing that military reinforcements were on the
way.
The group of Alamsirul, alias "Abu Kik," retreated
in a northeast direction, Joint Task Group Basilan public affairs officer Capt.
Eugene G. Espino said.
No casualties were incurred by the government while those on
the ASG are still being determined.
