| [Gulf Today] At least two Abu Sayyaf militants were killed in operations launched by Philippine security forces on the island province of Sulu in Mindanao. Police reported that lawmen killed the two armed rebels, who resisted and fired at them while being served a warrant for their arrest in the town of Indanan, Sulu on Wednesday afternoon. Police said they also arrested four accomplices of the slain terrorists from whom were seized a shotgun, two pistols and assorted ammunition as well as several sachets of crystal meth. The killings are part of continuing “search and destroy operations” launched by troops in Sulu and the neighboring island province of Basilan. In particular, the military said their attention has been focused on the rescue of at least 15 hostages held by the militants. |
