Philippine cops refute MILF claim on who killed Marwan


Director Benjamin Magalong, the former chief of the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group who headed the board of inquiry that investigated the botched SAF operation, said Sunday he was standing by the police finding that Marwan was killed by the police commandos.

MANILA: The Philippine National Police insisted Sunday that commandos from its Special Action Force (SAF) killed Zulkifli Hir alias “Marwan” in a raid on the Malaysian terrorist’s lair in Mamasapano, Maguindanao province, in January.

Several PNP officials disputed the findings of a Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) investigative team that Marwan, for whose capture dead or alive the US government had offered a reward of US$5mil (RM21mil), was most likely executed by his own aides.
