Sun Star-Zamboanga (Mar 15): Abu Sayyafs kill 2 soldiers in Sulu ambush
Two military intelligence operatives were killed in an ambush staged by Abu Sayyaf bandits in the hinterlands of Sulu Tuesday.
Brigadier General Alan Arrojado, Joint Task Group Sulu commander, said the ambush took place around 8:10 a.m. Tuesday at Sitio Tibongbong in the village of Igasan, Patikul, Sulu.
Arrojado did not release the identities of the slain soldiers but said they were intelligence operatives of the Army's 10th Infantry Battalion.
He said the victims were aboard a motorcycle traversing along the municipal service road when a group of Abu Sayyaf bandits led by sub-leader Morasil Mudjahirin ambushed them. The soldiers died on the spot.
The victims were returning to the 10th Infantry Battalion headquarters coming from a meeting in the village of Taglibi, Patikul, when the ambush happened.
Arrojado said the 10th Infantry Batallion troops responded to the crime scene and launched pursuit operation against Mudjahirin’s group.
