On the island of Jolo, the army clashed with Nur Misuari men. At least 11 of the rebels were killed, as well as two soldiers. The Misuari followers are now working with Abu Sayyaf. This makes sense, as Misuari was tossed out of MILF for banditry. Apparently, MILF is having a major problem with many of it's members increasingly turning to crime.
