Over 50 PNP- Special Action Force were killed during ambush in Maguindanao while trying to arrest high value targets.
EXCUSE #1: PNP INCURSION INTO MILF TERRITORY
DEBUNK: The MILF organization has no sovereign territorial rights over any piece of land anywhere in the Philippines, whether that be their fully-controlled camp, village, or community. The government forces have full sovereignty over all parts of the Philippine territory. There is no such thing as a demarcation line or boundaries of land that grants territory to the MILF.
The PNP has warrant of arrest and has all the rights to go and pass through wherever in the territory of the Republic of the Philippines wherever they have available information on the whereabouts of the Malaysian terrorist.
EXCUSE #2: PNP DID NOT COORDINATE WITH MILF
DEBUNK: There are two types of coordination. One is peace-process compliance coordination, the other is tactical coordination. The peace-process coordination was already complied by the PNP because it was already published in the newspapers that PNP is scouring those provinces of Magindanao, Cotabato, and Lanao area to look for Malaysian bomber Marwan. Marwan is already in the publicized Philippine Most Wanted List and the American Embassy in Manila even has a reward tag of $5M for his capture. Moreover, the PNP have already made so many patrols in that area in relation to the the legitimate police operation of finding Marwan. On the other hand, the tactical coordination is an internal process within the trust layer of the PNP chain of command, and it is not subject to peace-process coordination compliance. We MNLF can attest that PNP already coordinated with us via the the public information news we read in mainstream media months ago that PNP is operating in that area to get Marwan and other wanted Malaysian terrorist bombers. Just like the MILF, we MNLFs also have a peace-process-related coordination compliance with Government's large troops movement; and we attest that this particular PNP operation to search for Marwan in Maguindanao, Lanao, and Cotabato area is well coordinated with us.
EXCUSE #3: MILF ACTED IN SELF-DEFENSE
DEBUNK: The five (5) reasons why self-defense is not a valid excuse are: (1) MILF failed to take the evasive maneuver in a way that they could have walked away from the path of the PNP to avoid misencounter; (2) MILF assaulted persons in authority; (3) MILF's superiority of strength in terms of numbers, weapons, and familiarity with the terrain; (4) MILF did acts of mutilation, and (5) MILF did summary execution on subdued members of the PNP.
