Nine soldiers were slightly wounded when government forces
and Moro bandits clashed in a remote village
of Shariff Saydona Mustapha
The clash also led to the fall of two Bangsamoro Islamic
Freedom Fighters camp in the villages of Dabunayan and Liban, both in Shariff
Saydona.
Capt. Joann Petinglay, speaking for the 6th Infantry
Division, seven soldiers were initially hurt during the fierce fighting.
As they were being transported on board a military ambulance
to Camp Siongco
The fighting Friday erupted about four hours after
government forces captured two BIFF positions and found in abandoned huts
ammunition for assorted firearms, materials for fabricating roadside bombs,
improvised bombs, bullets and other documents about the BIFF's plot to launch
bombing on civilian communities to divert military action.
Earlier in the day, the Army captured BIFF gunmen,
identified as Aladin Panaydan, 22, Daud Balogat, 23, Ebrahim Oraw, 40, and
Abdul Madalidaw, 33, while trying to escape advancing government forces.
Panaydan was slightly wounded.
Petinglay said the captured rebels have been turned over to
the police for filing of appropriate charges.
"We condemn the attack on ambulance carrying wounded
infantrymen," Petinglay said, adding that the Army ensured the wounded
BIFF will be given medical attention.
"Your Army treats wounded enemies, the BIFF bomb
wounded soldiers," she lamented.
