I have approved the plan to hit the main camp of the MNLF [Moro National Liberation Front] at Taban at the boundary of Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur—about 90 kilometers Northeast of from Zamboanga City.
There have been attacks by Al Caluang on Anonang then Cawit-Cawit and Tictapul.
We let Usman Sali relax w1d become over-confident in Jolo while we wipe out their main headquarters which is not prepared for an all-out attack. It is also near the headquarters of the Zamboanga Provincial Committee Yacob Ibrahim.
Tictapul is where Dr. Tham Manjoorsa has always asked to be dropped in whenever we ferried him to meet with the MNLF.
No Official Gazette entry for this day.
