From GMA News (Apr 19): 2 militiamen wounded in Zamboanga del Norte attack
At least two members of the Citizens Armed Forces Geographical Unit were injured after armed men attacked a detachment of the Army's 20th Special Force Detachment in Zamboanga del Norte Friday night, a radio report said Saturday.
Bombo Radyo cited a report from detachment patrol base commander Cpl. Jelmer Haraji showing the attack occurred at Barangay Pange in Siayan town at about 7:30 p.m. Friday.
It identified the wounded CAFGU personnel as Marcial Sinto Seguyo, 50, and Jhunny Seguyo Fabillar.
The two were wounded in the knees by bullets from an M-16 rifle.
An initial investigation showed the two CAFGUs were returning to camp after getting the batteries for their handheld radio sets when armed men attacked the detachment.
This triggered a fire fight that lasted several minutes, after which the attackers fled toward Barangay Labangon in Dumingag town in Zamboanga del Sur.
As of posting time, GMA News Online was trying to contact the military to confirm the report.
