Troopers from Joint Task Force Central have successfully
overran another Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighter (BIFF) encampment in
Barangay Pusao, Shariff Saydona Mustapha town, Maguindanao Sunday.
Brig. Gen. Joselito Kakilala, Armed Forces of the Philippines
spokesperson, said the captured camp have fortified trenches measuring two
kilometers long and overhead bunkers.
"These trenches are parallel to the irrigation dike
with a road pathway that can accommodate one vehicle," he added.
Kakilala said the capture stemmed from a brief encounter
between Joint Task Force Central units and the BIFF which took place at the
vicinity of Barangays Pusao and Tina around 10 a.m.
No casualties were reported by government forces while the
BIFF sustained an undetermined number of casualties in the encounter.
An M-79 grenade launcher was also captured from the
encounter scene.
Clearing operations are still ongoing as of this posting.
