[Title] => NAIA tower siege: 2 killed
[Summary] => Police special weapons and tactics (SWAT) teams shot and killed former Air Transportation Office (ATO) chief Panfilo Villaruel and a former Navy commando after they seized the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA)-Terminal II control tower and held it for three hours before dawn yesterday.
Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) general manager Edgardo Manda said the two SWAT teams were dispatched to the tower after Villaruel and Navy Lt. (sg) Richard Gatchillar seized the tower armed with guns and explosives and claimed they wanted to expose government corruption.

[Summary] => The use of deadly force to end the standoff at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) control tower at dawn yesterday may have looked like overkill to those who witnessed it on television or heard it over the radio, but the man who led the assault team that ended the crisis believes otherwise.
Philippine National Police-Aviation Security Group (ASG) chief Senior Superintendent Andres Caro said his men spared the country further trouble by shooting dead former Air Transportation Office (ATO) chief Panfilo Villaruel and Navy Lt. (sg) Ricardo Gatchillar.
