Journalists Murdered in Philippines,total 57 people massacred!

It is horrible!! 57 people massacred and the government is still slowly taking up the issue. Justice delayed is justice denied...Crime is a crime no matter how big a clan you come from. Crime is a crime, no matter the geography of the happenstance, weather it is in Afgahnistan or Iraq or say here it is Philippines..the family of those deceased must be given justice....

Associated Press reported:

The heir of a powerful clan was charged Tuesday in connection with the Philippines' worst political massacre — an ambush in which 57 people, more than half journalists, were slaughtered.

Three witnesses, who escaped because their car was at the tail end of the election convoy that was attacked in a southern province Nov. 23 , said they saw Andal Ampatuan Jr. and about 100 gunmen, including police officers, stopping the cars, prosecutor Al Calica told The Associated Press.

Hours later, troops found bullet-riddled and hacked-up bodies near the highway sprawled in the grass and hastily buried with a backhoe in three mass grave.

 While reports in Local/News world said:

Most or all of the 22 women among the at least 57 people massacred Monday in the southern Philippines were sexually mutilated.

"It was horrible. It was not done to just one," the justice secretary, Agnes Devanadera, said on national television. "It was done to practically all the women."

Why is the world still so quite about it?
