On ambush and beheading of Marines in Basilan

Senator Richard Gordon also wants the government to insist that the MILF produce those who were responsible for the carnage.

“They [MILF leaders] should produce those who were responsible for this dastardly act as a show of their good faith in the continuing peace talks with the government ,” Gordon said.

The senator said that such demand should not be made a condition for the continuation of the peace talks between the government and the MILF.

“Not even the [Organization of Islamic Countries] would tolerate that. Nobody deserves to be mutilated; that is an act of inhumanity,” Gordon said.
