Islamic Liberation Front Commander was killed Saturday during a firefight
between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front Fighters and Bangsamoro Islamic
Freedom Fighters gunmen in Pagalungan town.
Capt. Jo-ann Petinglay public
affairs office of the Army’s 6th Infantry Division based in Datu
Odin Sisuat town in Maguindanao, identified the slain MILF Commander as
Datukong Ampuan a.k.a Falcon of the MILF’s 108th Base Command. There
were no report casualties from BIFF side.
Ampuan and fellow Commander Jack
Abas were holding a peaceful dialogue when they were attacked by the BIFF, led
by Commander Gani Saligan at around 5 PM in Barangay Kalbugan. The fighting
lasted until 10 PM.
AFP security forces refrained
from intervening due to the “volatile situation” which could panic local
residents.
Petinglay explained that clash
was the latest in a long standing RIDO or clan war conflicts between the two
groups. Just last week a BIFF fighter was killed with another injured in a
clash with the MILF in the same barangay.
Military Division based in the area did not know
how and when the rido first started. (By: Abs Damahan
