| 2016-10-16 |
| [Mindanao Examiner] Abu Sayyaf insurgents on Saturday ambushed a group of pro-government militiamen in Basilan province and killed one of them. Officials said the attack occurred in Sumisip town. The militias were traveling on a truck together with armed civilians when the rebels attacked them and triggering a brief gun battle. This occurred just a day after security forces captured an Abu Sayyaf militant wanted in the brutal slaying of 15 coconut farmers in Basilan. Police spokesman Rogelio Alabata said Marajol Taulani, alias Joel Gonzaga, was tracked down in the town of Imelda in Zamboanga Sibugay province. He said security forces seized five packets of crystal meth from Taulani, who is facing a series of criminal charges in Basilan. |
