ISABELA CITY, Basilan - Voters scampered for safety as gunmen from two opposing parties clashed an hour after polling precincts opened here Monday for the national and local elections. Col. Pedro Martirez, Basilan police director, said the encounter broke out around 7 a.m. in Barangay Boloh-Boloh in the island town of Tabuan Lasa. Martirez said the gunfight ensued after supporters of Boloh-Boloh Barangay Chairperson Jahid Abbas and Alfad Farouck, a candidate for municipal councilor, crossed paths at the village's public elementary school. "The report disclosed that the group of Alfad Farouck was the first to open fire, prompting the camp of Jahid Abbas to fire back," Martirez said. No casualty was reported in both camps during the clash that lasted for about two minutes, he said, adding police had to intervene to stop the fighting. Elsewh
