This was how the lawyer of suspected Abu Sayyaf field commander Hector Janjalani described the fate that befell his client in an interview following a pre-trial at the Manila Regional Trial Court yesterday. 


"According to him, he was just going to the mall when he was arrested, and that the drugs seized from him were just planted," said lawyer Fidel Macauyag, who was hired by the suspect’s relatives in Zamboanga the other day.
