AT LEAST two people died and 7 others were wounded in an encounter in Maguindanao province between the military and suspected members of the Abu Sayyaf, GMA Network radio dzBB reported Thursday. The report did not identify the victims of the 30-minute firefight between government troops and the Abu Sayyaf rebels led by their leader Khaddafy Janjalani. The report said the wounded were brought to a hospital in Sultan Kudarat province. Military pursuit operations are ongoing against the Muslim extremist group who withdrew to the hinterlands of Maguindanao, the report said.
| The way that reads, the Bad Guys were being led by Khaddafy. Might we hope he's one of the wounded? And in custody?... Nah. Too much to hope for. |
