Moro human rights organization Suara Bangsamoro has submitted to Pinoy Weekly some of the photos that they took of the site where the remains of many of the (at least) 44 police commandos were recovered, after the bloody encounter with Moro rebels in Mamasapano, Maguindanao on January 25. Jerome Succor Aba, Suara Bangsamoro spokesperson, said he went near the areas where the bloody encounters purportedly happened. He observed, took notes and pictures of the scene.
Aba said that they interviewed some witnesses who said they saw the body of at least one Caucasian soldier in Brgy. Tukanalipao in Mamasapano town. (Read the story here.)
