| [Inquirer] Two Philippine soldiers were killed and three others were injured in separate roadside bomb attacks believed to be launched by the Abu Sayyaf in Basilan on Tuesday. Lieutenant Colonel Harold Cabunoc said an improvised explosive device was detonated as soldiers were on patrol in Sumisip town at about 8:30 a.m. Two soldiers were killed and one was injured in that incident. In Ungkaya Pukan town, a bomb injured an infantryman at about 10a.m. A gun battle that broke out between soldiers and several militants left another soldier wounded. Cabunoc could not say if the attacks were related to the arrest of one Abu Sayyaf member early in the day. Abu Sayyaf militant Abdullah, alias Al Khobar, was arrested by security forces in Lantawan at around 1 a.m. |
