Some active and retired military officers may find themselves in hot water with the discovery that many high-powered weapons of the Muslim fundamentalist Abu Sayyaf come from the AFP Logistics Command.

Some of the weapons displayed by Abu Sayyaf members during a meeting with media are recoilless rifles issued only to government troopers.
