MANILA – An air and ground assault by Malaysian forces killed at least 13 of the nearly 200 militants seeking to reclaim part of Borneo Island for a Filipino sultan, Malaysian police officials said on Wednesday afternoon.

Sporadic fighting continued on Wednesday in remote coastal areas of the eastern Malaysian state of Sabah as the police and soldiers scoured rugged territory, searching house to house to find Filipino rebels who escaped the large-scale assault on Tuesday. At least 40 people have died so far in the fighting.

The Malaysian state news agency, Bernama, said the police warned on Wednesday that some of the rebels were “impersonating as members of the public.”

“The mopping and searching will cover a wider area given there are signs the intruders moved to another location,” Chief Ismail Omar of the Malaysian National Police told reporters on Wednesday, without providing further details.

Sulu raman akong nahibaw-an as last territory of the Philippines (base sa kanta "From Aparri to Jolo...") I know there's also a claim sa parte sa Borneo pero all this while I thought part jud ni sa either Malaysia or Indonesia (forgive my insufficient knowledge of geography) hehehe...
