IIRC seeks two more days to wrap up hostage siege report
09/16/2010
An official report on a bus hijacking that left eight Hong Kong tourists dead is to be submitted to President Aquino later this week, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima yesterday said.
The report is expected to contain specific names of police and government officials to be criminally or administratively sanctioned over last month’s hostage fiasco which has undermined the Aquino government.
“It’s a very exhaustive, fact-intensive report,” De Lima, who is also heading the Incident Investigation and Review Committee (IIRC) tasked to look into the Aug. 23 hostage-taking incident, said.
The report was scheduled to be submitted to Aquino on Wednesday, but De Lima told reporters that investigators needed two more days to complete some sections.
