Ground Report

Three Abu Sayyaf members were killed in a shootout yesterday afternoon after police personnel raided the hideout of suspected terrorists. The authorities believed that the three and others more who were captured have something to do with the bombing in the House of Representatives building last Tuesday evening. The gunfight lasted for ten minutes in a house located somewhere in Metro Manila. According to the investigators, there are strong possibility that the suspects have a hand in blowing up the said building because of the kind of explosive device used that only the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group have the capability to trigger such dastardly acts. The authorities recovered IDs, car plates, House of Representative identification cards, T-Shirts with congress logo and a car with congress sticker. It was established that the terror suspects have easy access inside the Hall of Congress as the physical evidence shows.
