Suspected members of the Abu Sayyaf's Ajang-Ajang Group shot
and killed a trooper while seriously wounding another in Patikul, Sulu Monday
morning.
The incident took place 10:30 a.m. at the vicinity of
Barangay Anoling, Patikul, Sulu, said Western Mindanao Command spokesperson
Major Filemon Tan.
He added the ambushed troopers were aboard a motorcycle at
the time of the attack, both are members of the 1st Scout Ranger Battalion.
The fatality was identified only as a Sgt. Capistrano while
the wounded trooper was a certain Cpl. Quijano.
Both men were headed back towards their base when six
Ajang-Ajang members appeared out of nowhere and began firing on them.
Capistrano died on the spot while Quijano managed to return
fire thus attracting the attention of patrolling military troops which prompted
the withdrawal of the bandits.
The body of the slain trooper was immediately brought to the
mortuary of Kutang Heneral Teodulfo Bautista in Jolo, Sulu.
