Suspected Abu Sayyaf bandits ambushed a convoy of rubber plantation workers escorted by government militiamen in Sumisip town, Basilan province yesterday, killing six persons and wounding 22 others.
Army 1st Infantry Division (ID) spokesman Capt. Albert Caber said a four-vehicle convoy of workers of Tumajubong Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Integrated Develop-ment Council (TARBIDC) was traversing along the Circumferential Road in Barangay Sapah Bulak around 6 a.m. when it was attacked.
No group claimed responsibility for the attack, although the military pointed to the al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf. Caber said more or less 10 Abu Sayyaf terrorists staged the ambush.
Killed were Dante Binondo, Larry Mangaran Sr., Bonifacio Estequia, Albert Parang and Loreto Jeneney Jr., all rubber tappers of TARBIDC, and an unidentified member of the Special Cafgu Active Auxiliary (SCAA) of TARBIDC.
Twenty other civilians and two SCAA members were wounded during the attack.
The military tagged the group of Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Radzmil Janatol as responsible in the attack. Janatol’s group was also encountered by members of the TARBIDC-SCAA last Tuesday along the vicinities of Sitio Campo Dos, Barangay Tumajubong.
Caber said the SCAA members managed to return fire at the Abu Sayyaf bandits, forcing them to retreat in different directions.
Army 104th Brigade commander Col. Arthur Ang immediately deployed additional troops in the area to pursue the Abu Sayyaf band.
Elements of the 17th Special Forces Company and 20th SFC were conducting the hot pursuit operations.
Ang, however, stressed the Army troops will continue to secure vital government installations in Basilan, particularly the Circumferential Road which is scheduled to be completed within the year, while tracking down the attackers.
Army spokesman Maj. Harold Cabunoc noted that the ambush was the second attack against the workers of TARBIDC this year, raising belief that the refusal of the plantation to yield to the extortion activities of the Abu Sayyaf.
“This is the second time this year that lawless elements attacked the workers of the rubber plantation. It is believed that the refusal of the rubber planters to pay extortion money to the lawless elements was the motive of the crime,” Cabunoc said.
Taha Katu, the cooperative’s manager, said prior to the attack they had received extortion letters purportedly from the Abu Sayyaf demanding payment of over $1,000 a month, in exchange for not being harmed.
Late last year, Abu Sayyaf gunmen also killed five workers in a similar ambush near the area.
Basilan is a rugged, jungle-clad island in the southern Philippines. It is a known stronghold of the Abu Sayyaf and farm workers commonly travel with armed escorts.
The Abu Sayyaf is a small Islamic militant movement that has been blamed for most of the country’s worst terror attacks as well as the kidnapping of foreigners.

A number one anguish grandmother boasts people with how to meet a new time frame on the web. Not merely just about any time frame although a new time frame worth obtaining. Receive as numerous dates because you need. Since pc's came around the landscape and from now on a lot of [url=http://beautifulcoachbackpacks2t.webs.com/]coach backpacks online[/url] households have a computer and are quite computer literate people surf the net, join up on social networking sites to chat to existing friends, shop and learn. Computers have become as essential and with some people more essential than a television. Many work online and would be lost without their computers now. For disabled people or those living in remote areas or tied to the home the computer may well be their social life. People use them for dating and this way certainly has many advantages over relying on being introduced to or bumping into someone local. In the old days where you were introduced to someone or bumped into them you were very [url=http://coachfactoryhandbag3e.webs.com/]coach factory handbag[/url] limited about who you met and how many you met and there may have been no one local to you that you liked. When you go online there are thousands of people to choose from. This is great insomuch as it gives you more choice but it also gives the other people more choice to, so if you come across as dull or insipid or very quiet then you will not be able to be noticed amongst your competition.
The challenge using chatting live would be that the person simply gives you a new flavor with yourself, you could have simply no user profile evaluate the points, they will often are situated regarding a lot of what exactly many people explain and also rule out very important info and also conceivably intentionally deceived people. Stilted individuals usually try to avoid signing up for adult dating sites and also completing a new user profile and also allowing the points [url=http://ccoachonlineoutlet.com/]Coach Factory Outlet[/url] and try to meet through live chats instead. Live can be time consuming because each person who pops up expects you to chat to them for about thirty minutes or so and you can easily end up chatting to dozens one after the other. If you are not careful you can end up wasting hours of time chatting to lots of unsuitable people.Make sure that the other person gives you the correct information by withholding your own information until you have theirs. If you tell the other person that you are 20 they may well lie and pretend to be 22 when they are 40. If you do not give any indication of your age until you know about them they cannot do that.
