Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 14) The probe into the attack in Datu Piang, Maguindanao early this month showed lack of coordination among units of the Philippine National Police, and with their counterparts in the Armed Forces.
Maj. Gen. Marni Marcos, head of the PNP s board of inquiry disclosed in a media briefing on Monday that police intelligence units had received information about the brewing attack, but Datu Piang s chief of police was left uninformed until a few hours before the incident.
Marcos said the intelligence information should have been coordinated and validated with the military for the possible augmentation of security in Datu Piang.
