Flags at half-mast in Albay for killed PNP-SAF


LEGAZPI CITY, Jan 27 (PIA) -- Albay governor Joey Salceda enjoins all offices of provincial, national and local government in the province to raise their flags at half mast for the rest of the weekdays in honor of fallen uniformed men in Mindanao and to observe a moment of silent prayer   in solidarity and condolence with their families. The provincial capitol will also be draped in black to articulate solidarity with their moral courage and dedication to serve our fellowmen. Police reports earlier said that at least 43 members of the Philippine National Police - Special Action Force (PNP-SAF) were killed Sunday in the remote town of Mamasapano Mindanao in an 11-hour firefight with muslim rebels while in search for Zulkifli bin Hir, an alleged bombmaker for the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) group which staged the 2002 Bali bombings and other deadly attacks.
