COTABATO: Fourteen people have been killed in two days of violence on the volatile southern Philippine island of Mindanao, officials said Tuesday.
Twelve Muslims were killed on Monday when rival commanders of the Muslim separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) clashed in Mamasapano town over a land dispute, said MILF spokesman Eid Kabalu.
In a separate incident on Tuesday, gunmen attacked a military outpost in the town of Palayan near Mamasapano, leaving two soldiers dead, said military spokesman Colonel Julieto Ando.
