| [Straits Times] AN UNARMED soldier and a civilian woman were killed in a bomb attack by Muslim insurgents in the southern Philippines on Wednesday, the military said. Four other soldiers were also wounded in the attack near the town of Datu Unsay in Maguindanao province, said regional army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Ponce. The bomb was planted by separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebels near a creek where soldiers were doing their early morning laundry along with some local villagers, Ponce said. 'There were many villagers there. We condemn this attack on our unarmed soldiers,' Ponce said. He said one soldier and a civilian were killed, while four others were wounded and taken to hospital. |
