ZAMBOANGA CITY: Four members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) were killed in a clash Wednesday — barely three days after the terrorists entered a southern part of town, stole food and threatened civilians for hours before fighting security forces and eventually escaping.

Brig. Gen. Roy Galido, commander of the 601st Infantry Brigade, said troops clashed with a group of terrorists and killed four of them in the outskirts of Datu Paglas town the BIFF raided over the weekend.
