BARMM braces for terror attacks

AUTHORITIES in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) are on high alert against two local terror groups after nine bombmakers were slain in clashes with government troops since January this year.

About a hundred members of outlawed groups Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) and the Dawlah Islamiyah (DI) have also surrendered in separate occasions since November 2021 with the help of the Army's 6th Infantry Division (6ID) and the BARMM's Police Regional Office.
