Four Abu Sayyaf rebels killed in Sulu clash
2019-02-16
Update on yesterday's story.
[PhilStar] Four Abu Sayyaf militants were killed and five others were injured as Philippine troops launched pursuit operations yesterday for the group of rebels they encountered in Patikul, Sulu, on Thursday.

Military spokesman Divino Rey Pabayo said soldiers from the 6th Special Forces Battalion clashed with the group of Monde Sawadjaan, a nephew of Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan. Hatib is the alleged mastermind in the twin bombings in Jolo last January 27 that left 23 people dead and more than a hundred injured.

Meanwhile, the remains of Cpl. Nemesis Salviejo, who was killed in the clash in Barangay Igasan on Thursday, were flown to Villamor Air Base yesterday after a sendoff ceremony held at the Edwin Andrews Air Base here. Three other soldiers were injured in the encounter.

#3  Thank you, TW! I know a lot of people don't find Twitter too appealing, but it's a natural fit for me. Talk about "short attention span theater". I do waste a bit too much time there though.

#2  Thank you, ryuge. Rantburg would not be the same without your quiet efforts. Nor would Twitter, where you are less quiet. ;-)
