SAF Maguindanao massacre: Who gave the order for Oplan Wolverine?

LIKE the millions of our fellow Filipinos, I am very much affected by the deaths of the 44 Special Action Force (SAF) troops who were involved in a covert police operation in Maguindanao to arrest two notorious terrorists involved in deadly bombings. The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) puts the death toll of the SAF members higher at 64, which is more disturbing because it is 20 more deaths among the nation’s supposedly elite police force.

So many SAF troops did not have to die in the performance of their duties. Their demise was unnecessary. I deeply condole with the families of the fallen heroes who died last Sunday and share their pain and grief. It is for this reason why I am writing this article: Justice for them!
