SOLDIERS OF the Joint Task Force Zampelan, mobilized in the wake of a clan war in Lanao del Sur, seized nine assorted firearms after a clearing operation early Saturday morning (Jan. 6), the Western Mindanao Command (WestMinCom) reported. Military units were first deployed Friday afternoon to Barangay Madanding, Bacolod Kalawi town, when two warring factions from the Amanodin and Dipatuan clans of the same village engaged in a firefight, temporarily disrupting the flow of traffic along the highway. — News5/interaksyon.com
