Two militiamen were injured in a 45-minute clash with Abu Sayyaf bandits in the hinterlands of Basilan province, an official said Saturday.
Senior Inspector Alchmad Alibonga, Sumisip police chief, said the clash broke out around 8:30 a.m. Saturday in Barangay Pamatsaken, Sumisip.
Alibonga identified the wounded militiamen as Sahid Liberal, 24, and Rajim Mampawi, 32. The victims were taken to a hospital for treatment.
Alibonga said the clash ensued when a group of Abu Sayyaf bandits led by Juhaibel Alamsirul alias Abu Kik attacked the residence of Mangal village chief Margem Barillo.
Alibonga said the militiamen who were at Barillo’s residence returned fire that trigged a 45-minute firefight.
The Abu Sayyaf bandits withdrew towards the forested area of Mangal village, Alibonga said.
