| At least five Muslim Abu Sayyaf guerrillas were killed and five soldiers wounded in clashes in the troubled southern Philippine island of Jolo, the military said Sunday. Fighting began Friday near the town of Pansol after Marines raided an Abu Sayyaf stronghold, naval forces commander Captain Petronilo Magno said. ``At least five Abu Sayyaf members had been killed and five soldiers were also wounded in sporadic fighting in the island that began Friday,’’ Magno said. Fighting ended late Saturday when the rebels, numbering several dozens, split into smaller groups and retreated into the jungle. |
