Trillanes to help blast probe but...


Detained Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV is willing to divulge evidence alleging that the government was behind the bombing of a mall in Makati City last week if an independent commission will head the investigation into the incident.

Trillanes had accused National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales and Gen. Hermogenes Esperon, Armed Forces chief of staff, in the blast at Glorietta 2 on Friday that killed 11 people and injured more than 100.

The senator’s allegation prompted the National Security Council on Saturday to order the Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group to investigate the lawmaker.

Trillanes reportedly agreed to be investigated on the condition that an independent and impartial board or commission will head the probe. The senator said he doubts that the government is capable of revealing the truth.

"It should be composed of retired justices, bishops, church leaders and retired leaders in the government," said the senator’s lawyer, Reynaldo Robles.

Interior and Local Government Secretary Ronaldo Puno, however, barred the senator's request, saying this will give politicians the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Trillanes also issued a warning not to believe text messages pointing to the Rajah Solaiman Movement (RSM) as the group responsible for the blast.

He said that the RSG was also trained by government forces.

The senator's claim came amid a statement from a self-proclaimed RSM member identified only as "Eduardo."

Eduardo denied in an ABS-CBN News interview that the group's spiritual leader, Ruben Lavilla alias Sheikh Omar, was the same person who owned up to Friday's blast.

The informant said the man's voice that was recorded in a telephone conversation with ABS-CBN immediately after the blast was far from the calm and modest demeanor of the group's leader.

Eduardo said he met Lavilla when he converted to Islam in 2002.

Though the group was founded by Ahmad Santos who trained members how to make bombs, it was Lavilla who served as their spiritual leader and taught them the Koran and Arabic, Eduardo said.

The group broke up when Santos was arrested in 2005. Lavilla, meanwhile, went into hiding after the government filed rebellion charges against him.

Police have yet to pinpoint the group responsible for the blast Friday afternoon. The investigation to determine what type of explosive caused the blast is also underway.
