Operating troops from the Army's 51st Infantry Battalion (51IB) of the 1st Infantry Division neutralized two Dawlah Islmiyah (DI)-Maute Group members in a three-minute gunfight at Sitio Kangkong, Brgy Palacat, Piagapo, Lanao del Sur on February 5, 2022.
511B identified the slain terrorists as Arafat Amino alias Salama and a certain alias Gazali, who were linked to shooting incidents that victimized workers who were part of government development projects in Piagapo. Troops captured an M16 rifle and one caliber 45 pistol at the encounter site.
Army Commanding General Lt. Gen. Romeo S. Brawner, Jr., lauded 51IB troops for neutralizing the two DI members which will ultimately result in safer communities.
