POLICE authorities in Zamboanga City have recently uncovered a clandestine fraternal practice of mauling innocent civilians with aluminum and wooden baseball bats, by drug-crazed moro fratmen, during the unguarded hours of the night.
Officials said that the plot was discovered following the capture of four members of this dreaded killer fraternity, composed of leaders and members who belong to influential moro families.
Police intelligence report in the city claimed the fratmen were also in the practice of killing and burying their victims, to prevent from getting discovered.
As of this press time, an eight-year old boy remains missing, as his parents reported the matter to the police.
Other victims are confined in various hospitals in the city, bearing casualties ranging from serious head and body fractures to comatose.
"We organized a tightened police vigilance in all gloomy corners of the city, and put in place other civilian security measures, and our authorities are ready to address any situation. We cannot rule out the possibility of a continued fraternal attack after the recent mauling incidents,” city police officers told this AmChron correspondent.
Intelligence report also identified the suspects as members of an anti-Christian fraternity that originated from the socio-political bigwigs of Jolo, Sulu. Those among their target victims accordingly include Christians and other non-Muslims.
Police authorities said intelligence operation had been intensified to track down the other members of the group in the city.
Authorities have tagged alumni members of this specific fraternity in the mid 90s thrill-killing of a 25-year old male public school teacher in Barangay Pasonanca, and the deaths of other resident civilians thereat.
The said victims were peacefully walking along the community road, when these armalite-wielding, motorcycle-riding fratment, performed the straffing act. They eventually owned up the shooting activity, and went into hiding for many years.
Since the killing of the Pasonanca residents, police and military authorities have deployed intelligence marshals in the city to track down the fraternal culprits.
Founding leaders of the group were also believed to be responsible for the bombing of the Protestant Christian bibliotical vessel MV DOULOUS in 1984, that left an American missionary dead and 10 other foreign missionaries wounded.
Moreover, this specific fraternity is said to be a "melting pot" of members of the various moro terrorist groups in Southern Mindanao, whose leaders are included in the US terror lists, and Washington offered as much as $10 Million bounty for their capture.
As of this presstime, motive of the maulings were not fully established. However, intelligence findings yielded shades of disenchantment over the unconventional death of a fraternal founder.
