GUNMEN attacked a police convoy transporting evidence of an election-linked massacre in the southern Philippines late on Thursday, damaging a vehicle but leaving no casualties, the military said.

The military rushed troops and armoured vehicles to rescue the policemen as the military chief of staff reported news of the ambush at a joint session of the legislature, which was sat to debate the legality of martial law imposed in Maguindanao province last week.

'One of the police cars at the rear of the convoy was hit with bullets,' General Victor Ibrado told the legislature, describing the ambush on a highway on the outskirts of Ampatuan town.

'The fender and a tail light were damaged,' he added.

He said the convoy was transporting unspecified evidence on the Nov 23 abduction and murder of 57 people in Ampatuan.
