More than 40 Philippine police killed in clash with Muslims

[fzaq]

More than 40 Philippine police commandos were killed in an 11-hour firefight with Muslim rebels which erupted while they were chasing one of the region's most wanted militants, police said Monday.





The clash -- which broke out despite a peace pact with the main rebel group -- was "the single largest loss of life in recent memory by our security forces", said interior minister Manuel Roxas.

A total of 43 commandos were killed Sunday in the remote town of Mamasapano, a known rebel stronghold, on Mindanao island in the south, the national police chief Leonardo Espina told a news conference.

Regional police spokeswoman Judith Ambong told AFP separately the bodies of 49 policemen were recovered.

Eleven police were injured but there was no information on any Muslim rebel casualties.

Almost 400 police commandos swooped before dawn on the hideout of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), a splinter group which rejects the peace pact, in search of Zulkifli bin Hir.

Yup they do, and guess what, it also has a Pakistani-Saudi connection
Moro Islamic Liberation Front - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The signing of this agreement brought about a serious rift[7] in MNLF leadership, leading to the formation of a breakaway group in 1977 by Hashim Salamat and 57 MNLF officers. The group was initially known as "The New Leadership". Misuari expelled Salamat in December 1977, after which Salamat moved his new organization first to Cairo, Egypt and then, in 1980, to Lahore, Pakistan, where it engaged in diplomatic activities. This organization was formally established in 1984 as the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.[6] Muammar Gaddafi became a longstanding supporter of the MILF after its emergence.

Moro Islamic Liberation front has connections with the early form of LeT, Specifically Mahmoud Mohammad Bahaziq, founder/financier of JuD, also fought in the Philippines, along side Hashim Salamat (apart from other countries).

Heard about it here first:

Its called critical thinking guys. If 40 police "commandos" where killed in this attack on a remote village, how many civilians died? Why are the casualties of the rebels unreported?

Because the number of civilian and rebel casualties are most probably disproportionately higher than the police losses.

The fact that they are only reporting one side of this police raid speaks volumes.

Not every media is state controlled Chinese media, to read out a well prepared and approved ( from CCP) text. Others report as and when the report comes.

And your point is...???

Manila and the Catholic majority need to respect the aspiration of the muslim minority and make peace with them !

The Bangsamoro Declaration of Independence was proclaimed on July 27, 2013[4] in Talipao, Sulu. The Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), under Nur Misuari, proclaimed the independence of the Bangsamoro Republik, officially known as the United Federated States of Bangsamoro Republik, claiming the islands of Mindanao, Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and Palawan in the Philippines.[5]

The Bangsamoro Republik also includes Sabah and Sarawak (in Malaysia's Borneo), confirmed Emmanuel Fontanila, Misuari's counsel.[6

It involves present-day Malaysia?? So the international mediation is also entailed.

 

[Bangalorean]

@amoy I am not sure if you are sarcastic or trolling or serious.

How about respecting aspirations of Uighurs? What's good for the goose is good for the gander...
