Thirteen insurgents and two soldiers were killed when a little-known Islamist group attacked a military post in the southern Philippines, the army said Sunday. The 50 attackers struck at dawn but were beaten off by the more than 60 troops stationed at the outpost on the island of Jolo.

The attackers were members of a group called Awiiyah, which has links to the Abu Sayyafgrouup that has been responsible for dozens of attacks and kidnappings on Jolo and other parts of the south, according to regional military spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Randolph Cabangbang.
The group was trying to take control of a remote section of Jolo from the territory, he said.  Read the rest on:
