Philippines marks massacre anniversary - 26 March 09

Four decades later, an incident known as the Jabidah massacre, continues to haunt the Philippines.

No-one is sure how many trainee soldiers, most of them Muslims, died when a plan to attack the Malaysian state of Sabah leaked out and authorities moved to destroy the evidence.

Now pressure is growing on the government to account for the past, as Al Jazeera's Marga Ortigas reports.

The Jabidah Project was leaked at the philippine congress by Benigno Aquino Jr. then a senator. Why did he leaked the project? We do not know his purpose.
