RP army attack on camp kills 11

COTABATO, Philippines (AFP): An army bombing raid on a Moslem
camp in the southern Philippines hit a school killing 10 teenage
pupils and their teacher, Moro guerrilla leaders charged
yesterday.

The bombing of the Madrasah (Arabic School) happened last
Sunday, when four 105-Howitzers landed inside the Moro Islamic
Liberation Front (MILF) camp in Buldon, said MILF leader Al Haj
Murad.

The military's air strike and ground assault came after MILF
rebels fired 20 rounds of 81mm mortars at an army outpost in the
village of Karigayan on Saturday, wounding three soldiers, said
army Lt. Noel Detoyato.

The incident heightens tensions between the military and the
MILF which have been at odds over a ceasefire agreement which
covers Buldon, where the main MILF base, Camp Abubakar is
located.
