At least three people were killed in an attack by suspected Muslim terrorists rebels Thursday night in southern Philippines.
The three were heading to meet someone when they were ambushed at around 7:30 p.m. by a group of armed men, thought to be members of a Muslim rebel group in Cotabato province, said Donald Cabigas, the police chief of Matalam. Cabigas said the attackers, armed with automatic rifles, fled after their target had died from bullet wounds.
The incident came on the heels of TuesdayÂ’s execution by gunmen of three high school students, Jubert Sumilhig dela Cerna, 13, Rico Divinagracia, 15 and Jomar Tamar, 13, in a secluded district in Parang.
