[Title] => Matillano wants anti-kidnap task force disbanded
[Summary] => DAVAO CITY — Chief Superintendent Eduardo Matillano, Southern Mindanao police director, called yesterday for the disbandment of a police anti-kidnapping task force created last month to go after the Pentagon kidnap-for-ransom gang in Central Mindanao.
Matillano fears that the so-called "Sanlahi" task force may become another Kuratong Baleleng or Red Scorpion which, he said, both started out as "intelligence projects" used by some Philippine National Police officers but which became "monsters."
