PNP chief lauds wounded commandos

ZAMBOANGA CITY: Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Benjamin Acorda flew to this southern Filipino city on Thursday and visited wounded police commandos whose unit clashed with an Abu Sayyaf fighter in Sulu province.

Acorda pinned medals to the wounded commandos at a hospital where they were recuperating following last week's fighting in the village of Seit Higad in Panamao town, where police forces eventually killed Muksidal Jumadil.
