HONIARA (SIBC/PINA) — Solomon Islands Police Commissioner Morton Sereheti is being urged to investigate what is said to have been a potential assassination attempt on some leaders.
The alleged incident happened on Wednesday night, the day on which parliament ended its meeting.
A report has been compiled by East Kwaio MP Alfred Sasako, whose relatives and East Kwaio supporters are said to have foiled the attempt.
This came after shots were said to have been fired at a relative’s home where Sasako was staying in Honiara during the parliamentary sitting.
This report said a Filipino and a local man were involved.
The two are said to have fired shots from a car believed to be owned by a policeman.
Sasako was away.
But several East Kwaio men apprehended the Filipino, dressed in camouflage uniform and boasting to be a former member of the Malaita Eagle Force militia.
In the car was said to be a light machine gun with a 100-round magazine fully loaded and attached.
A piece of paper said to be in the car appeared to be a typed memo.
On it was said to be a list of targets to be eliminated, allegedly national leaders to be killed in the operation code named “Justice.”
They were said to be on the list because they allegedly helped themselves to lost property compensation following the peace agreement ending two years of ethnic conflict.
