A Soldier at Hashim Salamat's Lair.

A soldier is amused at the nests of swiftlets nestled on the walls just below the ceiling of Hashim Salamat's home in Camp Abubakar.

The bungalow is hidden within a forest and echoes of abandonment. The MILF forces withdrew after two months of intense fighting with government troops. The walls are thick and belies a more functional use. This is where the most famous MILF fighter lived.
