The US Deputy Secretary of State Negroponte to RP: Focus on solving extrajudicial slays

The US Deputy Secretary of State said Tuesday he believes that the Philippines could halt the spate of extrajudicial killings in the country as he urged authorities to focus on the cases of politically related murders.
