De Lima: Video showing aftermath of Mamasapano incident should be verified whether authentic

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 15): De Lima: Video showing aftermath of Mamasapano incident should be verified whether authentic

Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Leila M. De Lima on Tuesday maintained the video showing the alleged aftermath of the Mamasapano incident last January where a Caucasian was among the slain "SAF 44" should be verified whether it's authentic.

De Lima said once the said video of the Mamasapano incident is authenticated, the next thing that should be determined is whether the Caucasian-looking man was a foreigner or just a Filipino who was a "mestizo".

However, De Lima clarified that she still has to determine from the team of the National Prosecution Service (NPS) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), which investigated the case, whether the alleged assistance of the foreign forces in "Oplan Exodus" was included in their investigation.

It earlier came out in the report of the Senate and the Philippine National Police (PNP) that the assistance provided by the United States forces was only up to "intelligence, retrieval and medical operations".

"Oplan Exodus" ended the terroristic activities of Malaysian bomb expert Zulkifli Bin hir alias "Marwan" that claimed the lives of 44 SAF troopers, some civilians, as well as the lives of some Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) in Mamasapano, Maguindanao on Jan. 25, 2015.
