Noy receives hostage report; Robredo inhibits self from IIRC’s liability vote
09/18/2010
President Aquino yesterday began studying the Incident Investigation and Review Committee (IIRC) report that called for charges to be filed against those behind the bungled bus hostage rescue that left eight Hong Kong tourists dead.
“I have read the report halfway,” Aquino told a group of businessmen in Malacañang.
He met investigators led by Justice Secretary Leila de Lima later in the day, but presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said Aquino would not immediately comment on the report.
The government will brief the press on Monday about the next steps to be taken, Lacierda said.
De Lima told reporters her panel’s report held more than a dozen people culpable, including police officers, government officials and journalists.
It also concluded that the eight Hong Kong tourists were all shot by the lone hostage-taker, she added.
De Lima said the investigative panel would resume its work in late September to review the operations of the institutions involved in the fiasco..... MORESource: The Daily Tribune
