UNIDENTIFIED gunmen strafed a mosque in Jolo, Sulu last Saturday night, wounding at least 20 people, a report reaching the Armed Forces’ Southern Command headquarters in Camp Navarro said Sunday.
The report said two motorcycle-riding suspects armed with assault rifle and pistol indiscriminately opened fire villagers who had just finished prayers in the mosque in Barangay (village) Busbus.
Brig. Gen. Alexander Aleo, chief of anti-terror “Task Force Comet,” said the attack occurred just a kilometer away from military camp and wounded at least 10 people. But the Suara Bangsamoro, said it counted up to 20 victims.
“The 10 wounded were rushed to the Sulu District Hospital for bullet wounds,” Aleo said. “Manhunt for the perpetrators had been launched. We are still investigating the motive for the attack.”
The latest attack in Sulu happened as US troops participating in an anti-terror training with Filipino counterparts next month are starting to arrive in the province. (ZS)
