CAMP SIONGCO, Maguindanao – Government forces in pursuit of local terrorist groups killed a subleader of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) during a military operation in Maguindanao, an Army official said Wednesday.
Col. Pedro Balisi, commander of 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade, said his men on Tuesday conducted an intelligence-driven operation in Barangay Dapiawan, Datu Saudi Ampatuan, Maguindanao that led to the death of Kopang Sahak, a subleader of the BIFF-Maguid Group.
“Sahak was also listed in the Department of National Defense Arrest Order No. 216 and with a standing warrant of arrest for frustrated murder,” Balisi said.
He said Sakah's group traded bullets with government forces but eventually scampered in different directions.
Maj. Gen. Juvymax Uy, Army’s 6th Infantry Division commander, said government forces are continuously mounting offensives to neutralize the remaining BIFF terrorists in Maguindanao.
