An alleged bomb maker of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters with a P1.2-million bounty on his head was killed by government troops in an encounter in Matalam, Cotabato province Monday, the military said.
A report from the Army’s 602nd Infantry Brigade said its troops, acting on a verified intelligence report, went to Barangay Cetral Malamote with local officials intending to convince Mohammad Nor Hassan, alias Kamarudin Sulayman, to surrender.
However, battalion commander Colonel Nolly Samarita said Hassan fired at the troops triggering the shootout in which he was killed.
Hassan, who operated in Cotabato and Maguindanao provinces, was the subject of two warrants of arrest.
