India eNews - Philippine massacre suspect blames Muslim rebels for carnage: "A scion of a powerful political family detained for allegedly masterminding a gruesome massacre of 57 civilians in the southern Philippines Friday blamed Muslim separatist rebels for the carnage.
Andal Ampatuan Junior maintained his innocence concerning Monday's grisly attack on mostly women and journalists in a hilly village in Ampatuan town in Maguindanao province, 930 km south of Manila.
'We know that the MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) is a terrorist group, especially under its leader Umbra Kato. They are terrorists,' he said in a television interview from the cell where he is being detained at the National Bureau of Investigation.
'I am innocent. I voluntarily came here to show to all of you that I am not hiding,' he added. 'I am innocent of the crime they are accusing me of.'
But MILF spokesman Eid Kabalu denied that his group was involved in the mass murder.
'We will not dignify his accusations,' he said. 'We will let the police investigators do their job and find out the culprits behind the crime.'"
