SolCom seeks swift NBI probe on Atimonan case
The leadership of the Southern Luzon Command of the Army where the 25 soldiers involved in the Atimonan incident are detailed on Monday called on the National Bureau of Investigation for a swift probe on the case for the "truth" to come out.
Solcom spokesman Col. Generoso Bolina made the call to NBI so that the operations of the unit would return to normal.
"We are calling on the concerned agency for a speedy resolution of the case so that truth will come out and we can move on," Bolina said in an interview.
Bolina said the soldiers, including those enlisted personnel dragged in the Atinoman operation, are still restricted to barracks pending the result of the investigation of the case.
The 25 soldiers were involved in the operation in Brgy. Lumutan, Atimonan, Quezon province last Jan. 6 where 13 people were killed, including suspected jueteng kingpin Vic Siman.
Earlier, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said she will submit to the Office of the President the result of the probe by the National Bureau of Investigation this week.
