44 MILF terrorists killed


Not that kind of MILF... Manila Times

GENERAL SANTOS CITY: A least 7, 000 residents fled from their homes while 32 Moro rebels were killed due to intermittent AFP-MILF clashes in Kalamansig, Sultan Kudarat and the coastal town of Sarangani, a military official said.

Col. Julieto Ando, 6th Army Infantry Division spokesman, said 32 lawless Moro Islamic Liberation Force combatants were killed due to consistent military operations, heavy artillery fire and aerial attacks in Southwestern Mindanao over the weekend, while hundreds of families have left the coastal town of Maasim in Sarangani due to sporadic encounters.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) reported another set of 12 lawless Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) fighters were killed in a series of air strikes launched by Air Force MG-520 and OV-10 bomber planes over Kalamansig town since Wednesday. The latest AFP report stressed another 20 MILF combatants under the command of certain Moro rebel commanders Boyet and Jakiri were killed in separate running gun battle in the area.
