On Wednesday, March 18, a company of police operatives, including commandos from the PNP-Special Action Force (SAF) reportedly entered an MILF territory in Datu Saudi Ampatuan, Maguindanao, to arrest ‘dead or alive’ high value targets but were detected, quickly intercepted and surrounded and told to raise their hands and leave, according to a source from the intelligence sector of the government.
The area where they entered is under the control of the MILF 106th Base Command and allegedly on operation having learned that wanted bomb-maker Abdul Basit Usman and Malaysian terrorist Amin Baco alias Jihad were hiding in the area.
"Not a single shot was fired from both sides, because the police team was detected and promptly yelled at by MILF fighters not to proceed in order to avoid an encounter.
They were surrounded and told to raise their hands, and to leave if they don't want to be shot at," Interaksyon TV5 quoting its source saying.
PNP spokesman Chief Superintendent Generoso Cerbo Jr., has not commented yet on the report.
The military said they too had heard about the report, but still in the process of verifying it.
Similar ‘hands-up’ orders by Moro rebels also happened to SAF operatives in Taviran, datu Odin, Sinsuat, Maguindanao in early 90’s; Masula, Isabela City, Basilan; and in Matanog, Maguindanao, when some SAF officers and men were caught between Army troops and MILF rebels in 1995.
