MAHIGIT 40 PNP-SAF MEMBERS, NASAWI SA BAKBAKAN

Hindi baba sa 40 miyembro ng Philippine National Police's Special Action Force ang kinumpirmang napatay matapos makasagupaan ang pwersa ng   Moro Islamic Liberation Frontsa lugar ng barangay in Mamasapano, Maguindanao.
Salaysay ni Espina, nagsimula ang operasyon alas-10:00 Sabado ng gabi, Enero 24 kung saan pangunahing target ang kilalang terorista at kilabot na bomber na si Zulkifli "Marwan" Abdhir na pinaniniwalaang napatay din sa engkwentro.

Matagumpay naman anya ang pagtugis sa suspek pero habang umaatras ang SAF, tinambangan sila ng pwersa ng Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) at nagkaroon ng misencounter sa hinihinalang mga MILF na patuloy pa rin nilang bineberipika.

Sa isang pahayag, tiniyak ng PNP na mabibigyan ng kaukulang benepisyo ang naulila ng mga pulis.
