ZAMBOANGA CITY — Government troops clashed Thursday with 80 heavily armed Abu Sayyaf, killing nine, as soldiers combed the jungle of Talipao town to neutralize bandit leaders Ghalib Andang alias Commander Robot and Mujib Susukan.

Col. Hilario Atendido, spokesman of the Armed Forces Southern Command, said the fighting erupted when the elements of the 77th Infantry Battalion encountered heavily armed Abu Sayyaf rebels under the combined command of Sadji Isa and Susukan in the jungle of Talipao at about 6 a.m. Thursday. — Roel Pareño
