From the Manila Times (Jan 22): 2 ASG men killed in Tawi-Tawi clash
Elite police commandos killed two Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) members in a recent encounter in a remote village in Bongao, Tawi-Tawi Sunday morning.
The reports said the encounter between elements of the 51st Special Action Company (SAC) of the PNP Special Action Force (SAF) occurred on Sanga-Sanga Road, Bongao, Tawi-Tawi.
The two ASG members killed in the encounter were identified as Redz Matarol from Talipao and a certain “Doke”. A third member a certain “Umben” was able to escape from the firefight in which PO2 Ronie Igot was wounded.
The two slain ASG bandits and “Umben” were reportedly followers of ASG leader, Yasser Igasan, whose group was tagged in the abduction of a Jordanian journalist freed last month following more than a year in captivity.
Police claimed to have uncovered a plan of the ASG to kidnap more wealthy businessmen in Mindanao.
