The NBI found that the soldiers killed in the Jolo incident sustained bullet wounds 'mostly in the back,' Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra told reporters. FULL STORY:

by policemen at a checkpoint in Jolo, Sulu, on June 29, with the initial police report saying the soldiers pointed their guns at the cops first – a claim debunked by the Army. The cops in the incident are now detained at Camp Crame.

Guevarra said that the 2 other soldiers had 3 bullet wounds each. There were shots to the extremities,"but all of them sustained bullet wounds in their backs." Only 3 soldiers were autopsied, because the 4th is a Muslim who had to be buried right away in accordance with Islamic practices. "Unless the NBI intends to submit a supplemental report, I expect that a criminal complaint will be filed very soon with the DOJ," Guevarra said, without elaborating on the exact offense and respondents of the potential suit.
