100 suspects sought for Philippines massacre

Escorted-militaryOne hundred more suspects - including police officers - could face arrest over massacre in the Philippines, a government official said Friday after authorities charged the alleged architect of the killings.

At least 57 unarmed civilians were slain Monday in Maguindanao, in the southern Philippines. Andal Ampatuan Jr. - mayor of Datu Unsay and son of the provincial governor of Maguindanao - faces seven counts of murder.

Justice officials said they have collected sworn statements from witnesses and expect to file more charges as the investigation unfolds.
