Clash between Filipino rebels, officials kills 11

Muslim rebels killed 10 people, including supporters of a provincial governor, in fighting linked to a dispute over fishing grounds in a volatile southern Philippine region, officials said Monday.

A group of local officials, some relatives of Maguindanao Gov. Esmael Mangudadatu, were inspecting a road project near Lake Buluan on Sunday when the rebels opened fire, triggering a gunfight that also left one guerrilla dead, said Mangudadatu and a military spokesman. (AP)
