Government forces are hot on trail of an Abu Sayyaf Group
(ASG) brigands that figured in a firefight Tuesday with troops in Patikul,
Sulu.
Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado, Joint Task Group Sulu commander,
said target of the pursuit operations is the group of Ninok Sapari and of a
certain Abu Alkam.
Arrojado said the troops were conducting focused military
operations when they clashed with the group of Sapari and Alkam around 3 p.m.
Tuesday in Sitio Buanbuan, Barangay Latih, Patikul.
Arrojado said the firefight lasted for about five minutes
after which the ASG brigands ran towards Barangay Bungkaong, also in Patikul
town.
He said there was no casualty on the government side “while
it is still undetermined on the enemy side.”
He said the troops from the Army's 35th Infantry Battalion
have recovered at the clash site three backpacks, assorted police and military
uniforms, foodstuffs and one motorcycle.
