Posted to Kalinaw News (Dec 2, 2021): Local terrorist neutralized in Maguindanao encounter
Camp Navarro, Calarian, Zamboanga City – December 2, 2021
An encounter transpired between the military and members of the Daulah Islamiyah-Tureife Group in the wee hours of December 1, 2021. The soldiers and intelligence operatives under the Joint Task Force Central were on operation when they encountered the enemies at Sitio Ulangkaya, Barangay Ganta, Shariff Saydona Mustapha, Maguindanao.
“Upon arrival in the area, troops were fired upon by the DI-TG members under Hassan Indal, a.k.a. Katrina. Our troops retaliated, resulting in an exchange of gunfires which lasted for about five minutes,” said Lt. Gen. Alfredo Rosario, Jr., Commander of WestMinCom.
Due to the superior firepower of the government forces, the local terrorists were forced to withdraw and escape.
“While scouring the area, our troops recovered one enemy cadaver, one 5.56mm rifle, one bandoleer, 189 rounds of 5.56mm ammunition, four short and three long magazines for M16, two cellphones, and one suppressor,” said Maj. Gen. Juvymax Uy, Commander of Joint Task Force Central.
The slain enemy was later identified as a.k.a. Adsam, the son of Hassan Indal. Troops continue to pursue the fleeing enemies.
“Congratulations to our troops for a job well done. We expect that more enemies were injured due to the bloodstains that scampered in the area,” Maj. Gen. Uy added.
Meanwhile, Lt. Gen. Rosario, Jr. said the military will not stop until all terrorists are neutralized. “Our soldiers are out there hunting for those who refuse to return to the fold of the law and continue to wreak havoc in the communities, hence, I enjoin everyone to continuously support our troops in this fight to eliminate the terror groups in the Mindanao region.
