Alleged Magdalo plot may have been lifted
from "Mission Impossible" -- Chiz

Opposition Sen. Chiz Escudero yesterday described the alleged plot to spring Sen. Antonio Trillanes and Army Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim out of Camp Crame as another attempt to discredit leading figures of the opposition.

"It's an outlandish and ala "Mission Impossible" tale which people will never believe or buy," he said in a statement.

"This is another episode in a long-running series targeting the opposition as scripted and directed by the president's men," Escudero said.

Government operatives from the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission arrested six former Magdalo rebels and their alleged foreign trainer in a raid on a firing range in Clark last April 24.

PAOCC chief Mariano Villafuerte has claimed that those arrested were undergoing training as part of a plan to rescue detained Magdalo leaders.
