Around 200 Muslim rebels, reportedly members of an extremist group led by Abu Sayyaf, raided three banks and attacked buildings and civilians in the town of Ipil on Mindanao island. Authorities state that over 45 people were killed and another 40 injured. This was reported to be the worst single violent attack in the 20-year Muslim insurgency. Authorities believe that two other rebel organizations, the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) were also involved in the attack (Reuters, 04/05/95).
