Sampung hinihinalang miyembro ng Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters were killed in an encounter in Shariff Saydona Mustapha, Maguindanao Tuesday.
Nangyari ang encounter sa pagitan ng 601st Infantry Brigade at BIFF sa Barangay Pusao dalawang araw matapos ang bakbakan sa Tukanalipao.
Tumagal ang encounter na ikinasawi ng 10 na BIFF ng apat na oras. Kinilala ni Capt. Arvin G. Encinas, 6th Infantry Division Public Affairs Office chief, ang apat sa nasawi na sina Badrodin Haron alias “Tro,” Ali Abdul Malik, Badrudin Kalun Mabang, and Mohaiden Mando.
