Government security forces pursuing Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG)
bandits have recovered an arms cache and a speedboat belonging to the brigands
during operations at Siluag and Mamanuk
Islands
This was disclosed by Western Mindanao Command spokesman
Major Filemon Tan in a message to the PNA.
Tan said troops from Joint Task Force Tawi-Tawi carried out
the operations which took place 5:50 a.m.
Recovered were four M-16AI automatic rifles, one M-79
grenade launcher, a US carbine, one .38 caliber revolver, one .357 Magnum
revolver, an M-16AI with an M-203 grenade launcher, a caliber 60 machine gun,
and a .50 caliber Browning machine gun.
Also seized were assorted ammunition and a
"jungkong" speedboat believed to be used by the ASG in their illegal
activities.
"This operation was conducted as part of the focused
military operations to prevent lawless activities in the area," Tan said.
