GMA orders probe on military links to political killings

President Arroyo ordered yesterday an investigation into allegations that the military was behind the deaths of political and human rights activists. After receiving the report of a fact-finding body tasked to look into the killings, Mrs. Arroyo said in a statement: "I deplore the killings, be they from left or right, against journalists or activists. We have a sorry history in our nation of political violence." (Philstar)
