MILF feared to go scot-free over SAF deaths

Criminal cases against the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) members linked to the killing of the Special Action Force (SAF) members may face strong opposition in an MILF plan to invoke a ceasefire agreement with the government if the cases reach the court.

Rep. Jonathan dela Cruz of the Abakada Party-list raised the possibility of such happening given MILF peace panel chairman Mohagher Iqbal’s statement earlier that the MILF would invoke the ceasefire agreement if the Justice department moved ahead with the criminal charges against its members for the death of the SAF members.
