MILF denies link with armed group in Lanao province

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has denied having links with the Maute group of Lanao del Sur, according to a report aired over Super Radyo dzBB.

MILF 102nd Base Command led by Commander Abdullah Makapaar alias Kumander Bravo said they are not connected with the group that engaged government soldiers in armed clashes in Lanao del Sur province, particularly in Barangay Bayabao in Butig town.

Makapaar's statement came after Brig. Gen. Restituto Padidlia said the armed group responsible for the attacks in Southern Philippines were MILF members. — BAP, GMA News
