Gunmen believed to be members of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG)
brigands have killed three marine soldiers in an ambush in the province of Sulu
Maj. Filemon Tan Jr., Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom)
spokesman, disclosed the ambush occurred around 8 a.m. Thursday in Barangay
Manilop, Indanan, Sulu.
Tan did not release the identities of the slain soldiers
except in saying they belong to the Field Artillery Battalion attached to the
Marine Battalion Landing Team-10 (MBLT-10).
Tan said the soldiers were procuring provisions when the ASG
brigands ambushed them.
He said troops from the MBLT-10 rushed to the ambush site
but the suspects have already fled.
He said the remains of the slain soldiers were taken to the
Camp General Teodulfo Bautista in Barangay Bus-Bus, Jolo, the province’
capital.
The incident occurred as the government forces are
continuously pursuing the ASG brigands in the province of Sulu
So far, 22 ASG brigands were killed since the start of the
focused military operations last week in the Sulu hinterlands.
