KIDAPAWAN CITY: Two army officers were shot dead on Tuesday by still unidentified gunmen while the soldiers were waiting just outside the local radio station in Marawi City for an informant who was supposed to shed more light on the recent ambush on an ABS-CBN news team, authorities said.

Col. Roseller Murillo, commander of the Marawi City-based 103rd Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army, identified the slain soldiers as Sgt. John Bernas Saballe and First Class Sofronio S. Grame, Jr., belonging to the Army’s 65th Infantry Battalion.
