| An attack by heavily-armed men has left at least 14 dead in the southern Philippines. Five houses were gutted by a blaze, after being hit with grenades and machine gun fire in a village on the island of Mindanao. The Philippines military said the Muslim rebels of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) were suspected of being behind the attack. In a separate attack, at least one person was reported dead after a bomb exploded in a market town on the island... A MILF spokesman denied that his men had carried out the village, but said the guerrillas would investigate it. "Yep, Mohammed over there just completed a crime scene forensics course at Mindanao Community College. Ballistics, fingerprints, fiber analysis, you name it. I wuz just goin' now to fetch the microscope an tweezers. An army spokesman said that about 50 gunmen attacked the village near Kalawit in Mindanao on Wednesday evening...Some residents of the village were shot as they tried to put out the flames... The market explosion went off in Kabacan, in North Cotabato province. The army said a device, probably a mortar, had apparently gone off prematurely, and the dead man was suspected of being the bomber. Trained to the exacting standards of Jihadis worldwide. |
