Iqbal to represent MILF to Mamasapano hearings

From InterAksyon (Feb 10): Iqbal to represent MILF to Mamasapano hearings



Chief MILF negotiator Mohagher Iqbal

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front has appointed its chief negotiator to peace talks with government, Mohagher Iqbal, to represent it to the Senate hearings into the bloody Mamasapano incident on January 25.

Iqbal informed Senator Grace Poe, chair of the Senate committee on public order and dangerous drugs, of his appointment in a letter read at the start of Tuesday’s hearing by Rasid Ladiasan, who heads the MILF’s Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities.

He also explained that he could not attend the hearings until the investigation commission created by the MILF to look into the bloody Mamasapano clash “comes out with its findings, which will be the basis” for his statements.

Iqbal also requested that his appearance be in executive session.

Poe also asked the MILF to say when exactly Iqbal will be appearing in its next communication with the Senate.
