COTABATO CITY – Security forces arrested 2 alleged members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and seized grenades and a sub-machine gun from the duo at an army checkpoint in Sultan Kudarat’s Midsayap town in southern Philippines, reports said Monday.
It said duo – Adzal Dansulaw, 56, and Lahmudin Ampuan, 21, – were handed over to the police after the army interrogated them.
They were traveling on a motorcycle when soldiers from the ng 62nd Division Reconnaissance Company manning the checkpoint arrested them on June 23 in the village of Salunayan.
The two men were being linked to a roadside bombing in Ulandang village on June 21 that injured 3 army soldiers also from the same unit and a civilian.
There was no immediate statement from the MILF on the arrest of its members. The MILF signed an interim peace deal with Manila in 2014, but despite the accord, many of its members had been linked to ransom kidnappings in the region, and some joined other radical groups that pledged allegiance with the Islamic State.
