From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 8): Zamboanga cop ambushed
Motorcycle gunmen ambushed a policeman who was returning home from his duty early Monday in Zamboanga City in southern Philippines, officials said.
Officials said PO3 Michael Tan was driving his motorcycle along Veterans Avenue when attacked by assailants. Tan, a warrant server at a police station in Santa Maria village, was killed instantly.
Police investigators recovered bullet casings fired from a pistol. No individual or group claimed responsibility for the attack and police said an investigation into the motive of the murder is going on. Tan also served with the Drug Enforcement Team of the local police force before being assigned at the Warrant Section.
Gun attacks are not uncommon in Zamboanga where hired killers actively operate. There had been dozens of unresolved murders in the past years and many of the crimes were linked to hired killers.
