21 killed in Army-MILF clash
MANILA, Philippines, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- Thirteen suspected Moro Islamic Liberation Front rebels and eight government troopers were killed in fierce fighting in Mamasapano, Philippines Monday.
Helicopter gunships pounded rebel positions after a faction of the MILF attacked army outposts, the Philippines Star reports.
Fighting broke out late Sunday when about 100 MILF guerrillas under Abdul Rahman Binago simultaneously attacked army detachments in Linantangan, Mamasapano and Labo-Labo in Sharif Aguak, both in Maguindanao, in violation of a two-year-old cease-fire.
The MILF attack was begun in apparent retaliation for the killing last week of Binago's brother Fides Binago, leader of the Abu Sofia bandit group, in a clash with government troops.
MILF spokesman Eid Kabalu said the rebel leadership was trying to contact Binago to get him to pull out. Kabalu said an international team of cease-fire monitors was being rushed to the area to keep the fighting from spreading.
