The military has confirmed that the civilian injured during an operation in Maguindanao is a a member of the group of Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF).
In a statement, AFP Westmincom Spokesperson Major John Arvin Encinas has identified the injured persons as Alimoden Masla and his 10-year-old son while the woman who died in the explosion was Misba Masla, his wife.
Encinas said that Masla is a member of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters under Abdul Haber Usman alias Edsgrapil, a key BIFF leader under the Bungos Faction.
Encinas added that Edsgrapil and his cohorts are in-charge of the transportation and dispatch of improvise explosive devices (IEDs) being kept at their houses in Sitio Butilen, Barangay Kabasalan, Pikit in North Cotabato.

"The established safehouses of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters in So Butilen, Brgy Kabasalan served as launching point of bombings being perpetrated by the BIFF and even the ISIS groups in North Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat posing an imminent threat to all residents in Central Mindanao and nearby regions," he added.

Encinas related that the explosion was a self-accident.

There were military operations conducted against the BIFF and ISIS groups in Barangay Dasawao, Sharif Saydona Mustapha, Maguindanao.

"Due to the carelessness of these lawless terrorists groups they accidentally triggered an explosion of the IEDs being kept in their houses," said Encinas.

"Informants in the area revealed that the explosion particularly occurred at the house of Alimoden Masla alias Alimoden killing his wife and critically wounding himself and his 10-year old son," he added.
