ZAMBOANGA, Philippines (AFP) - Eight people were killed as two warring Muslim clans clashed in a long-running feud stemming from the sale of a car, the local military commander said on Monday.
Soldiers were deployed in a remote region of the southern island of Mindanao to stop the fighting that broke out on Friday, said local military commander Colonel Daniel Lucero.
'We have sent troops to pacify the warring clans. At least eight people have been killed on both sides since the fighting erupted,' Mr Lucero said.
The feud between the families of two local politicians has raged since 2002, according to Mr Lucero.
