Philippines: MILF claims wanted militant killed by aide |
2015-09-14 |
[AA.TR] Members of the Philippines' one-time largest rebel group, which was implicated in a raid that left 44 police commandos dead, have questioned the official account of how a most wanted bully boy was killed in the incident. According to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) investigation into the Jan. 25 Mamasapano incident, Malaysian bomb expert Zulkifli bin Hir -- alias "Marwan" -- was shot in the back of the head, probably while lying face-down on the floor. The findings of the report, which was submitted to the government in March but never made public, contradict the Special Armed Forces (SAF) account that Marwan was killed after firing on commandos who entered his hut in southern Mamasapano province while he was sleeping. |
