| 2009-12-03 |
| At least five women among 57 people massacred in an attack on an election convoy in the southern Philippines last week may have been raped, police said Thursday. The forensic findings from the Nov. 23 carnage, blamed on a powerful clan that has ruled impoverished Maguindanao province unopposed for years, also indicated that some of the victims were mowed down with a light machine gun and others shot from a distance of only 2 feet (60 centimeters), said Arturo Cacdac, director of the police crime laboratory. Twenty-one of the 57 people slain were women. More than half of those killed were journalists. What Would Mohammed Do?
