LAHAD DATU - It was 3am and pitch dark on the heavily fortified beach we were on after a long, eventful day.
The previous day, security forces had launched a massive attack on Kampung Tanduo where terrorists from Sulu had been holed up. That morning, in a six-layer "U" formation, the VAT 69 team started inching closer into the terrorists' hideout in the village that was located several hundred metres from the shore. Metres ahead of them was an incline.All personnel behind them, also stopped. They were suddenly face to face with several terrorists who had been hiding in a chest-deep ditch which was camouflaged with dried palm leaves.
"They all suddenly stood up and both sides had weapons trained at each other. Our brothers in front were training their M-16s down at the terrorists... there were several seconds of silence.
"During this stand-off, which lasted a few seconds, we noticed more of them behind a slope, just behind the ditch.
"It was in that few seconds when their snipers from the slope shot our two brothers in the head," he said, anger and sadness evident in his eyes.
Heavy exchange of gunfire ensued"I saw it all from where I was. I saw a glimpse of his face as he fell back after being hit... it killed me," he said, referring to one of his men who was shot. Abang then turned and walked away.
As we, too, turned to walk back to our base, we were approached by another personnel who had earlier passed us by as we were talking to Abang.
