An Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) encampment was captured after a
short bombardment by Joint Task Group Sulu units in Darayan, Sulu Thursday
morning.
The operation took place at 8:30 a.m., Joint Task Group Sulu
commander Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado said.
Troops who made the capture of the ASG lair were from the
35th Infantry Battalion.
The camp is believed to be operated by ASG sub-commander
Radullan Sahiron and is capable of hosting 300 bandits.
Blood trails were found by scouring troops.
Also seized were an AK-47 rifle butt and cooking
paraphernalias.
Bombardment took place midnight, Arrojado said.
Six rounds of 81 mm mortar and six 105 mm shells were fired
on the ASG position, causing undetermined casualties on the side of the
bandits.
Pursuit and clearing operations are still ongoing.
