The Manila Times Internet Edition | REGIONS >MILF rebels burn down Sulu homes: "COTABATO CITY: Muslim separatists torched the homes of 30 Christian families in an attack on a farming hamlet of Sangay in Sulu province, the military said Thursday.
The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) reported no casualties following Wednesday’s raid, but the rebels are still occupying the area, said regional military spokesman Lt. Col. Julieto Ando.
“The rebels set on fire a total of 30 houses of Christian civilians. The problem there has something to do with land conflict,” Ando told reporters.
Some 500 families have fled Sangay for the nearby town of Kalamansig, Ando added.
The military estimates about 150 armed guerrillas deployed in the village after it was sacked."
