New Mamasapano inquiry splits senators

SENATORS Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Francis Escudero are divided on a proposal seeking to reopen Senate investigation of the January 25 Mamasapano firefight that led to the killing of 44 police commandos on a mission to capture terrorist Zulkifli bin Hir alias Marwan.

Marcos said all issues and angles in the gunbattle had already been discussed during the course of investigations conducted by different government bodies including the Senate and there is no point looking at them again.
