A group of Abu Sayyaf brigands attacked on Friday the
residence of a barangay official, triggering a 15-minute firefight in Patikul,
Sulu.
Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado, Joint Task Group Sulu commander,
said the firefight ensued around 9:30 a.m. Friday in Barangay Bungkaung,
Patikul.
Arrojado said the Abu Sayyaf brigands led by Hatib Hajan
Sawadjaan attacked the residence of Bungkaung Barangay Chairman Abdukahal
Umadjadi, prompting the barangay official and his followers to fight back.
Arrojado said the attack was likely in revenge to Thursday’s
firefight in Barangay Latih, Patikul that resulted in the death of two Abu
Sayyaf members.
He said Umadjadi and Sawadjaan are enemies and have a long
standing feud locally known as “rido.”
He said Sawadjaan’s group fled as government troops pounded
them with mortar rounds.
He said there was no reported casualty on both groups.
