Gen. Debold Sinas, chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP), said the operation was carried out at around 3 a.m. in Sitio Masanang in Barangay Poblacion after policemen got hold of information that Hassan was hiding in the area.
“During the service of warrant of arrest, he fired at our personnel using a .45 pistol. It triggered a shootout which led to his death,” said Sinas.
Hassan is reportedly a member of a KFR group that has close contact with ASG sub-leaders Sibih Pisih and Idang Susukan.
