Manila, Rajab 28, 1435, May 27, 2014, SPA -- Eight suspected would-be robbers were killed Tuesday in a shootout with police in the Philippines, dpa quoted an official as saying. The gunfight erupted when the suspects, riding four motorbikes, refused to stop at a checkpoint in Silang town in Cavite province, just south of Manila, and opened fire, police Inspector Gil Torralba said. The checkpoint was set up after a tip-off that a heist was being planned in the area, he said. --SPA 12:44 LOCAL TIME 09:44 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
