Abu Sayyaf gunmen ambushed a small group of army soldiers travelling on motorcycles and killing at least 2 in a fresh attack Sunday in Sulu province in the Muslim autonomous region, police said.
It said two other soldiers were reported injured in the
ambush in the village
of Bonbon
The Western Mindanao Command and the 1st Infantry
Division did not issue any statement on the latest assault on the military, but
the attack occurred just 2 days after President Rodrigo Duterte ordered troops
to intensify their anti-terrorism campaign and operations against the Abu
Sayyaf.
The identities of the victims were not immediately known,
but other sources said they were all members of the army’s 32nd Infantry
Battalion deployed in the province to fight the notorious jihadist group tied
to the Islamic State.
No individual or group claimed responsibility for the attack,
but the police said the Abu Sayyaf is actively operating in the area where 3
people had been abducted on July 6.
The trio was on board a multi-cab when gunmen flagged down
the vehicles on the village
of Timpook
