Mamasapano

Both Janjalani and Marwan were killed by government forces in separate encounters: Janjalani was killed in Patikul, Sulu in 2006 while Marwan was killed in Mamasapano, Maguindanao in 2015.

More than half of the 44 PNP-SAF troopers killed in Mamasapano, Maguindanao in the January 25 clash were shot in the head — according to the autopsy report of the PNP's Board of Inquiry.

The PNP-SAF contingent that figured in the encounter were in Mamasapano to search for Malaysian bomb expert Zulkifli bin Hir, also known as Marwan, who is reportedly being protected by the BIFF, and has a bounty of $5,000,000 from the US FBI.
