BIFF rebel killed in Maguindanao clash
[Inquirer] Philippine soldiers and Islamic State-inspired rebels based in Maguindanao clashed anew early Friday morning in Rajah Buayan town. In a report, the military said one Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighter (BIFF) gunman was killed in the clash.

The report said the clash occurred when troops intercepted the group of BIFF leader Esmael Abdulmalik, alias Abu Toraife, which was moving out of Rajah Buayan to Mamasapano town. The remains of the slain BIFF member have already been turned over to village officials for immediate burial.

The military has been battling the Toraife group, which had attacked Teduray communities in the province starting December 25. The group allegedly wanted the Maguindanao lumads out of Mt. Firis, where BIFF founder Ameril Umra Kato had declared he was leaving the Moro Islamic Liberation Front in 2008.
