Outlawed Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) tried
but failed to overrun an Army base in Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao on Friday
morning, the military here said.
Colonel Edgar Delos Reyes, commander of the 34th Infantry
Battalion based in Shariff Aguak, said about 30 heavily armed BIFF
simultaneously attack the 34th IB detachment using assault rifles and shoulder
fired grenades at past 4 a.m.
Alert soldiers returned fire triggering a two-hour sporadic
fire fight until the gunmen fled to the hinterlands of Shariff Aguak.
The skirmishes triggered mass evacuation of about 30
families but have already returned home Friday afternoon.
Delos Reyes said the gunmen were led by a certain Commander
Abu Bin Laden. He could not say whether the attackers sustained fatalities or
not.
No casualty on the government side.
