E-mailIn another attempt to search for unaccounted-for firearms, an anti-terrorism unit of the National Bureau of Investigation from Manila searched for a secret underground passage in former Maguindanao Governor Andal Ampatuan Sr.'s Shariff Aguak mansion last week, according to Inquirer.net.
At 9 a.m. February 26, a search warrant was presented to the detained governor's daughter, Bai Rebeccah Ampatuan. The exclusive Inquirer.net report said that a counsel of Ampatuan Sr. (patriarch of the Ampatuan clan and a suspect in the massacre) was present during the raid.
Inquirer's interview with acting Maguindanao police director Senior Superintendent Alex Lineses revealed that the NBI raiding team used tile cutters and acetylene torch dig into the floor of the mansion. They were supposedly looking for the tunnel connecting the mansion to the governor's office at the provincial capitol.
Three months and three days since the gruesome carnage dubbed the Ampatuan or “Maguindanao massacre,”
The government is still looking for the 2,000 or so firearms given to civilian volunteer organizations, some linked to the massacre of 57 people.
More than a thousand artillery and heavy infantry weapons have been recovered by the government since the contested declaration of martial law in the province reported Mindanao Examiner.
Controversies of special treatment, settlements, cover up and almost 200 indictments have since plagued the victims' families.
