| [Gulf Today] The Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters continued their hit-and-run attacks against Philippine security forces, killing two soldiers on their way to help repair a damaged school building in Maguindanao province. Regional spokesperson Captain Jo-Ann Petinglay said the two soldiers were aboard a motorcycle on their way to join a military team assigned to repair a public school building in the town of Datu Unsay on Monday when the two armed suspects also riding in tandem on a motorcycle fired at them, killing them on the spot. Petinglay denounced the killing, mentioning that the soldiers were unarmed and were wearing athletic uniforms when they were slain. She also said the killers fled with the victims' motorcycle. Petinglay said, "It is very lamentable that the two unarmed soldiers working for peace were killed in a treacherous way by the BIFF. They don’t even care for the future of the children in the area whom the soldiers were serving." |
