Gunmen wearing police uniforms killed 4 in Philippines

Gunmen wearing police uniforms stopped a passenger bus in the southern Philippines early Thursday and fatally shot four people, including two police marshals, officials said.

 
The attack came just three days after a disgruntled ex-policeman took hostage a busload of Hong Kong tourists in Manila, killing eight of them before he was shot dead by a police sniper.
 
Police said the bus attacked Thursday was traveling from Cagayan de Oro to Zamboanga city in the southern Philippines — where Muslim rebels and criminal gangs operate — when it was flagged down at a road checkpoint by gunmen in police uniforms.
