COTABATO CITY, Philippines — Six members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), who admitted they had been trained in bomb-making, surrendered in Midsayap town in Cotabato on Friday.

The surrenderees turned over a .30-caliber Garand rifle, two 7.62-millimeter bolt-action sniper rifles, an M79 grenade launcher and an M14 rifle, Maj. Gen. Alex Rillera, 6th Infantry Division (ID) commander, said.

Up to 289 BIFF men have surrendered to 6th ID units in Cotabato, South Cotabato, Maguindanao, Sultan Kudarat and Sarangani since last year.
