BASILAN: Government forces shelled Wednesday
suspected encampments of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF)
rebels on Basilan island.
“Military forces shelled our positions in the
towns of Tipo-Tipo and Ungkaya Pukan, firing at least fifty rounds
of howitzer canons. We have no reports of casualties, but the MILF
is more worried that civilians would be hit by these indiscriminate
attacks by soldiers,” Mohagher Iqbal, chief MILF peace negotiator,
told The Manila Times.
