A Muslim clan accused of a political massacre last month killed at least 200 other people during its rule of a southern Philippine province, the nation’s human rights commissioner said on Wednesday.

“We are looking at a minimum of 200,” Commission on Human Rights chairwoman Leila de Lima told reporters, adding the bodies were believed to be buried in mass graves scattered across Maguindanao province.

At the same time, the nation’s police chief said Wednesday that at least 161 people are suspected of having directly participated in the massacre.

“We have so far identified 161 suspects who directly participated in the gruesome massacre,” Philippines National Police Director General Jesus Verzosa told a nationally televised news briefing.

Police and army officers were among those who carried out the killings of 57 people on November 23 in Maguindanao province, other police chiefs told the briefing.

They said Andal Ampatuan Jnr, a local mayor, led the killings to stop a rival politician from registering as a candidate for provincial governor in next year’s elections.

Ampatuan Jnr has already been arrested and charged with 25 counts of murder in relation to the massacre.

Giving the most detailed official account of the massacre yet, police said Wednesday 26 of the victims were women and 32 were journalists.

Ampatuan Jnr allegedly abducted the female relatives of a rival politician, plus a group of journalists travelling with them, then shot them dead.

Some of the victims’ bodies had been mutilated with knives as well as shot, police said.

Ampatuan Jnr’s father, the governor of Maguindanao, and other members of his powerful Muslim clan have also been detained and may face murder charges, police said earlier.

President Gloria Arroyo imposed martial law in Maguindanao on Friday night to quell what the government said was a rebellion by the Ampatuan clan.

Too small? Click here This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening. We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but  you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way... But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it.  If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted. Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth, (we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it! One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display. But you won't be back, trust me on that. Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

I can’t believe mine is the first comment since 9th Dec 2009.

SWITCH over to ABC, NOW. Yes, you read right!
Mark Willacy has gone to the Philipnes to report on the trail of the islamist who ordered the deaths of 50 people last year. Very revealing. He even asks why the world media hasn’t touched this story.
See, the ABC IS getting braver.

At 8:00PM for Foreign Correspondent, “Pet Monsters”.

How brave the muslim male when gathered in a group and facing down the weak and the defenceless. How spineless and weak the muslim male when facing his own moral weakness or a victim who will fight back.
