Maria Rowena Muyuela said the militiamen, who are members of the Barangay Police Action Team, were on patrol in Sulu's Talipao town when the militants attacked them with rifle grenades. The militiamen fought some 30 militants under Abu Sayyaf sub-leaders Angga Adji and Roger Saji. Muyuela said, "The firefight lasted for almost ten minutes that resulted to the wounding of one Barangay Police Action Team member Akmad Aburan." She said it was not known if there were any Abu Sayyaf casualties. |
