MANILA, Philippines - Unidentified men attacked on Monday night a power barge in Basilan, rendering the island province without electricity for at least 11 hours.

While the power barge being operated by the National Power Corp. sustained only minor damage, it had to be shut down after at least eight men aboard two boats fired at it with assault rifles at around 10 p.m. Tuesday. Power in the entire province was only restored at 9 a.m. yesterday.
