AFP file photo of MILF rebels.
The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) reported it had found eight improvised explosive devices in two towns of Maguindanao and North Cotabato, even as its ongoing clashes with the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters in Pikit town had claimed the life of a member.
The MILF fatality was identified as Tilak Kamid, 27, resident of Pikit, North Cotabato. He was buried right away following Muslim tradition.
The MILF said its clearing operations in several villages in Pikit town yielded seven IEDs; and one IED was found in the town of Pagalungan in Maguindanao.
MILF Commander Utto Bantolo said they suspect the BIFF is behind the planting of the IEDs. Their members placed all eight IEDs in a safe zone and exploded them.
The MILF said civilians who fled the MILF-BIFF fighting in Barangays Bago-Inged and Rajamudah may now return home.
But it is not yet safe for residents of four other villages to return home as clearing operations by MILF are not yet done.
Meanwhile, residents of Don Ramon Rabago Extension were alarmed when a grenade was found Friday morning beneath a vehicle owned by one Joemar Brahim, 33 years old.
