From GMA News Online (Feb 23): High-powered firearms cache allegedly owned by Abu Sayyaf recovered by military

Government troops recovered a cache of high-powered firearms allegedly owned by the Abu Sayyaf in Sulu on Thursday night.

Eight high-powered firearms—four M16 rifles and four M14 rifles—were discovered by the Marine Battalion Landing Team-3 of the Joint Task Force Sulu in Sitio Kadkad, Barangay Pitogo, Kalingalan Caluang in Sulu at 7:30 p.m.
The military received a tip from a concerned citizen, and soon dispatched a team.

A member of the Abu Sayyaf identified as Apo Eting guarded the firearms but fled on a motorized banca when the troops drew near.

Brigadier General Cirilito E. Sobejana, Armed Forces of the Philippines JTF Sulu commander, commended the troops led by Lieutenant Colonel Ramil Densing of MBLT-3 for the discovery of the firearms cache. He also thanked the residents and the local government unit for their support and cooperation.
