COTABATO CITY - Hostilities between two powerful Muslim clans in Buluan,
Maguindanao have escalated, trapping innocent civilians in the crossfire,
authorities said.

Police and provincial officials have tried to pacify the feuding Paglas and
Mangudadatu families, but have failed to convince the leaders of both sides to
settle the conflict amicably.

Both families, though related by blood, are locked in a deep-seated animosity
that stemmed from political misunderstandings and squabbles over control of
patches of land in Buluan and Datu Paglas towns.
