Local terrorist leader’s fall is Army victory vs criminality

April 25, 2024 by Paul Palacio

DAVAO CITY — The death of Mohiden Animbang alias “Kagui Karialan”, leader of the BIFF-Karialan faction, in an encounter with the Philippine Army is considered a victory of the government’s fight against local terrorist.

Major General Alex S. Rillera PA, Commander of the 6th Infantry (Kampilan) Division and Joint Task Force Central, expresses hope for the cessation of violence in this part of Mindanao, coinciding with the neutralization of the highest-ranking leader of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) – Karialan Faction.

Karialan was killed on April 22 along with his eleven followers in an encounter in Barangay Kitango, Datu Saudi Ampatuan in Maguindanao del Sur while seven soldiers were wounded during the clash.

He was wanted for various crimes including bombing, extortion, multiple murder, arson, and many others, along with his brother Saga Animbang.

Military authorities recovered 12 high-powered firearms after the encounter.

Rillera said the Karialan faction was known for his expertise in making improvised explosive devices.

In connection with this, the military reiterates its appeal for the surrender of remaining terrorists while assuring its readiness for any possible retaliatory attacks from the BIFF.

“No civilians were affected by the ground and air assault we conducted against the BIFF as the clashes occurred far from residential areas,” Rillera emphasized.

Rillera thanked the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) for their support which paved the way for successful military operations. Nevertheless, the military also assisted in the recovery of the relatives of the slain terrorists.
