Ongoing law enforcement operations against the Abu Sayyaf
Group (ASG) has resulted in the slight wounding of seven soldiers in Sitio
Bauno Bautong, Barangay Buhanginan, Patikul town, Sulu Friday.
The firefight took place after troops from Joint Task Group
Sulu, which is commanded by Col. Allan Arrojado, encountered more or less 300
ASG bandits led by Radullan Sajiron.
Sources said that at least six bandits were reported killed
in the encounter although this report is still to be validated.
"The AFP has continuously pursued the Abu Sayyaf
bandits and their Jemaah Islamiyah associates in Sulu province after the series
of encounters in the past two days," AFP public affairs office chief Lt.
Col. Harold Cabunoc said.
He added that the firefight is still on-going as of this
posting.
"Our troops on the ground reported seven slightly
wounded soldiers due to a 40mm shrapnel," Cabunoc added.
Heavy casualties were seen on the enemy side but they were
carried away by their comrades.
The group of Radullan Sahiron is believed to be holding some
of the hostages.
