| 2011-10-30 |
| An air strike has killed three Muslim The attack came after military intelligence said that an Abu Sayyaf leader, known as "Doctor Abu", had been spotted in a forested region. Cabangbang said, "We have been going after them long before but we needed solid information before we could launch an operation." Two rifles were recovered along with the three bodies and the search for the rest of his group continues on the island. Cabangbang said the air strike on Jolo was not linked to other attacks, mainly against groups linked to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the country's largest Muslim rebel group. Another military official warned the MILF that harboring "lawless elements" would make it the target of armed operations as well. National military spokesman Colonel Arnulfo Burgos in a statement said, "These ongoing operations are intended for lawless elements only and not the MILF. However if the MILF coddles or provides sanctuary to these lawless elements, they will become legitimate targets too of the law enforcement operations." |
