In the almost week-long military offensive against Abu
Sayyaf Group (ASG) terrorists in Basilan and Sulu, a total of 40 terrorists
were believed to have been killed and another 25 wounded.
This was disclosed by Western Mindanao Command (WESMINCOM)
spokesperson Major Filemon Tan in an interview Monday.
ASG casualties can be broken into two military offensives,
with the first one in Basilan which started July 6 and still ongoing as of this
posting.
In this operation, 18 bandits were reported killed and other
nine wounded.
In the Sulu offensive, which started July 7, terrorists
reported killed reached 22 and 16 wounded, Tan added.
Focused military operations are intensified, in coordination
with the police and the local governments of Basilan and Sulu, to neutralize
the bandit group.
