    Gunmen attack Philippine city jail, 1 dead

    MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A Philippine police official says suspected Muslim rebels have attacked a jail in a southern city to free a comrade but were repulsed by authorities.

    Police Senior Supt. Chino Mamburam says the gunmen fired two grenades at the Kidapawan city jail and then engaged policemen and guards in a brief firefight late Sunday before withdrawing. At least one civilian was killed in the crossfire.

    Mamburam says guards bolstered security at the jail before the attack after being warned by police, who received intelligence reports that Muslim rebels were planning an assault to rescue a jailed comrade.

    Mamburam says policemen are pursuing an unspecified number of attackers, who fled toward a mountainous area.

      Time for the Philippines to "MAN UP" and send the army south to eleminate this problem. I've lived there before and see the country going downhill due to this problem.

        filipinos have no balls when it comes to a one on one confrontation or even in a group. Reminds me of a BLACK AMERICAN BOXER MARYFEATHER.

        Attacking the army or a police jail, this is a everyday thing in the Philippines. The Muslim's have more fire powerthan the police or military. The thing about the Muslim rebels is everyone with a cell phone here is their spy, they report anytime the army makes a move towards a rebel camp.

      Koranimals are worse than Herpes, they are everywhere and continue to breed just to continue such criminal behavior regardless of which continent they reside. I say let Bong Bong and Macadang Dang do their job and kill the Koranimals on site whole sale

      Muslim prisoners should be executed. Do the Muslims ever keep any prisoners? No, they kill everyone they capture.

      Mamburam says policemen are pursuing an unspecified number of attackers, who fled toward a mountainous area. Did the pursute start before or after the police aet rice and took a knap ? In a firefight you move towards the enemy and keep pressure on them.

        Do you like Gloria Arroyo? you idiot
      • Bad Dogs 3 months ago
        Gloria Arroyo was and is PRO Muslim rebels. In her corrupt term she provided the Amputuans Muslim thugs with money and weapons. Notice that the Amputuan trial has dropped out of focus from GMA. The problem with the philippine President is the CATHOLIC CHURCH controling the government. All he has too do is ask the UN to send in NATO to clean out the Abu Sayyaf, Al Qaida, and the MLIF.
