"Rogue Muslim rebel commander, companion killed in Philippines"

Mar 26, 2007, 5:15 GMT

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Cotabato City, Philippines - A rogue commander of the largest Muslim separatist rebel group in the southern Philippines and his companion were killed over the weekend by unidentified gunmen, the military said Monday.

Army Colonel Pedro Soria said Pakil Ayunan, a former commander of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), and a bodyguard were shot to death Saturday in Pikit town in North Cotabato province, 930 kilometres north of Manila.

Soria said the victims were meeting with a group of five armed men when an argument ensued, triggering the shootings.

'There was an armed group who met with him [Ayunan],' Soria said. 'After a short talk, there was a heated argument, and he and his companion were shot dead.'"
