ZAMBOANGA CITY – An suspected member of the separatist group Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) was killed in an encounter in Tungawan, Zamboanga Sibugay.
Col. Rodel Alarcon, 18th Infantry Battalion commanding officer, said a squad of civilian volunteers and some troops encountered five armed men in Barangay Timbabaoan last Tuesday.
Firefight ensued between the two groups, resulting in the death of a guerrilla identified as Tumali Misuari.
Alarcon claimed that the armed men were MILF guerrillas from Camp Salman Alfarishi, Datu Tumangong in Tungawan.
The Army officer said the clash took place during a combat patrol after residents complained of alleged extortion activities in the area.
Other suspects who managed to escape were identified as Munib Aukasa, Amisain Unding, Halim Bacondo and Abdulasa Sali.
