Basilan ambush kills 4

 From the Mindanao Examiner (Jan 10, 2021): Basilan ambush kills 4

Gunmen ambushed a car and killing four people inside the vehicle in a daring attack Saturday afternoon in the southern Philippine province of Basilan, reports said.

It said the car was travelling on a village in Tipo-Tipo town when armed men sprayed the vehicle with automatic gunfire killing the passengers. The vehicle was peppered with bullets and crashed on a motorcycle taxi.

It was unclear if any civilians were injured or killed in the ambush.

The identities of the victims or the motive of the attack were not immediately known, and government officials and the police have not release any statement into the killing.

No individual or group claimed responsibility for the attack, but violent political rivalries, family feud and clan war are not uncommon in Basilan, one of 5 provinces under the restive Muslim autonomous region. (Zamboanga Post)
