From the Mindanao Examiner BlogSpot site (Jan 24): Soldier killed in Maguindanao shooting
A lone gunman shot dead a government soldier in a broad daylight attack Friday in Shariff Aguak town in the restive province of Maguindanao in the Muslim autonomous region in southern Philippines, officials said.
Officials said Private First Class Richard Indoso, a member of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Battalion, was driving his motorcycle in the village of Kurimtem. The soldier was heading to Cotabato City when the gunman attacked him.
The assailant escaped after the shooting and it was unknown whether the attack was carried out by rebels or not.
No other details were made available by officials about the fatal shooting, but the town has been marred by gun attacks in recent months.
Maguindanao is also a stronghold of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters who are battling for an independent state in the southern region if Mindanao.
