AFP: No info on terrorist allegedly killed by Matobato

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 16): AFP: No info on terrorist allegedly killed by Matobato

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) said Friday it has no records nor information on the existence of a certain Sali Mukham, an alleged international terrorist executed by controversial witness Edgar Matobato and other purported members of the "Davao Death Squad" in 2002.

"With regards to one Sali Makdum, we have verified our records, I have just consulted with our personnel and office in charge of files like these and based on their records, there is no Sali Makdum in their list of terrorists," AFP public affairs office chief Col. Edgard Arevalo said in Filipino.

Matobato earlier said he and other members of the "Davao Death Squad" abducted Makdum in Samal Island and brought him to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force office where they hanged him to death and then chopped his body before burying it in a quarry.

"You can make your own conclusion, but what the AFP can say is that, we have no terrorist by that name in our list," Arevalo stressed.
