Osalli disclosed the ambush occurred around 1:15 p.m. Sunday in Sitio Crossing, Barangay Bulan-Bulan, Lantawan, Basilan province.
Osalli said the policemen were aboard a police car driven by PO1 Nasser Mohammad when a group of unidentified gunmen ambushed them upon reaching Sitio Crossing, Barangay Bulan-Bulan, Lantawan.
