As Maguindanao is under martial law, things are getting stranger and stranger.
More and more weapons are being found that weren't issued to local militias:
On Tuesday night, missiles and ammunition with sufficient power to obliterate a small town were found by soldiers in a huge warehouse allegedly owned by Maguindanao Gov. Andal Ampatuan Sr.
The missiles, including “illuminating rockets,” were stashed between two concrete walls of a storage area just a few meters from the province’s main public market in Barangay San Sebastian.
and although human rights lawyers are opposed to martial law in the area, the safety is allowing witnesses to other murders to come forth: estimate 200 people killed, mostly peasants...
“Everybody was aware (of the killings), but they have been tolerated,” De Lima added. “That is why we want full accountability now. The years of tolerance and neglect are over.”
De Lima said independent forensic experts deputized by her agency would begin excavating two alleged “killing fields” in the next two weeks.
