Police to probe link between plotters, Reds
|

THE Department of Justice will investigate the
possible involvement of a ranking member of the political opposition
in a failed uprising last week against the government of President
Gloria Arroyo. The Philippine National Police, for its part, will
look into the possible link between the rebels and communists.
Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez on Monday
ordered the National Bureau of Investigation to probe Makati City
Mayor Jejomar Binay’s personal knowledge on the uprising. The
order came amid disclosures that at least two city employees were
with the Magdaló rebels as they walked out of the Makati Regional
Trial Court and marched to Manila Peninsula hotel in Makati City.
