Sayyafs shoot jeepney in Sulu; 1 wounded

From the Sun Star-Zamboanga (Nov 8): Sayyafs shoot jeepney in Sulu; 1 wounded

WOMAN was wounded when a group of Abu Sayyaf bandits indiscriminately fired their guns, hitting a passing passenger jeep in the province of Sulu, a top military official said.

Joint Task Group Sulu Commander Alan Arrojado said the incident occurred around 1:30 p.m. Saturday in the village of Tandu Bagua, Patikul, more than two hours after an Abu Sayyaf sub-leader was wounded in a clash in the same town.

Arrojado withheld the victim’s name, who happens to be a relative of one of the two informants that tipped the government troops about the presence of the Abu Sayyaf bandits that led to the clash.

Arrojado said the passenger jeep was on the way to Jolo when the group of Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Ninok Sapari indiscriminately fired their guns and hit the vehicle.

He said Sapari was mad since his brother, Ben Saudi, another Abu Sayyaf sub-leader, was wounded in a clash around 11:20 a.m. Saturday in the village of Liang, Patikul.

He said Sapari’s group extricated Saudi from the clash site and fled toward the village of Tandu Bagua.

He said that troops are continuously tracking down the Abu Sayyaf bandits in the hinterlands of Sulu.
