The Hong Kong government said Monday it was "very disappointed" about the outcome of a dramatic hostage siege in the Philippine capital which left at least seven Hong Kong tourists dead.
"The outcome is very disappointing. It is a tragedy because a pleasure trip has ended up with casualties and injuries," the city's Chief Executive Donald Tsang told a press briefing.
Tsang said he had been unable to reach Philippine President Benigno Aquino III and that the Filipino authorities must provide a full account of the deadly incident to the Hong Kong government.
"We have to get the information from the authorities there. Until now I still cannot have a full grasp of the situation. The numbers (of casualties and injured) keep changing." - agence france presse
