Malaysian bomb expert killed in Basilan clashes?
ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines – A Malaysian bomb expert was among those believed killed in the military offensive to capture an Abu Sayyaf camp in Al-Barka, Basilan, an official said yesterday.
“There was information that a foreign militant was among the fatalities. This information is being validated since the troops have not penetrated the main lair yet,” Maj. Felimon Tan, spokesman for the Western Mindanao Command, said.
Tan was referring to Najib Hussein, alias Abu Anas, a Malaysian militant who has been training the Abu Sayyaf in bomb making.
Reports said Hussein has links with the Islamic State.
The military reported that 15 Abu Sayyaf militants and three soldiers were killed in the encounters in Basilan, which started early this week.
Tan said special operating units of the military are closing in on the Abu Sayyaf lair.
