President Arroyo on Tuesday justified the use of force as necessary to kill suspected Abu Sayyaf detainees who took hostage fellow inmates inside a jail building in Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig.
The President said the rebels "had it coming."
"The terrorists got what was coming to them," she said. "The crisis team gave them all the chances to peacefully surrender."
The President issued the statement immediately after police commandos stormed the prison and were forced to kill the hostage-takers.
Seventeen suspected terrorists, including four top Abu Sayyaf leaders, were killed in the siege. Interior Secretary Angelo Reyes named four of the fatalities as Alhamzer Limbong alias Commander Kosovo, Ghalib Andang alias Commander Robot, Nadzmie Saabdullah alias Commander Global and Hafti Dais alias Ka Lando.
