Philippine troops overrun abandoned Abu Sayyaf camp
Aug 5, 2006, 17:43 GMT
Zamboanga City, Philippines - Philippine troops overran an abandoned camp of Muslim Abu Sayyaf rebels on a southern island as the military offensive entered its fifth day, an army commander said Saturday.
Brigadier General Alexander Aleo said the abandoned camp was located in Indanan town on Jolo island, 1,000 kilometres south of Manila, a stronghold of the al-Qaeda-linked guerrillas.
Aleo said the troops recovered explosives from the camp which used to be a bomb-making facility for the rebels. He added there were no reported clashes on Saturday as the rebels fled deeper into the jungle.
The military claimed at least 12 Abu Sayyaf rebels, including the son of Abu Sayyaf leader Raddulan Sahiron, were killed in the clashes since they erupted Tuesday.
Several soldiers were also wounded in the fighting.
More than 2,000 people have fled to two evacuation centres in Indanan town to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
The attack was launched following intelligence reports that two top Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) militants were hiding in the area under the protection of the Abu Sayyaf.
Dulmatin and Omar Patek are key suspects in the October 2002 bombings on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, which killed more than 200 people.
The United States has included the Abu Sayyaf in its blacklist of foreign terrorist organizations due to alleged links to the international al-Qaeda terror network.

There were a bunch of shootings in the Richmond and Oakland, Calif. areas.
They almost never show up on the news.
Thanks for the list........
