Senate gives way anew to IIRC, defers probe

The Senate decided to give way again to the fact finding body on the bloody hostage crisis as it deferred yesterday a parallel investigation into the incident after the Department of Justice (DoJ) requested its postponement to allow smooth proceedings of the Incident Investigation and Review Committee (IIRC).
Sen. Gregorio Honasan, chairman of the public order and public information Senate committees, said the separate inquiry on the incident, focusing on the broadcast media’s role in covering hostage situations, originally scheduled to take place today, has been canceled. Today would be the second time that the Senate is postponing its inquiry into the Aug. 23
bloodletting that claimed the lives of eight Hong Kong residents in deference to the IIRC.
