                    [Title] => Confessed bomber to change guilty plea
                    [Summary] => Self-confessed bomber Hadji Saifullah Yunos, alias Muklis — once considered one of the toughest and best-trained in terrorist tactics of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front — has indicated his intention to recant his guilty plea.  


Yunos pleaded guilty to the deadly Dec. 30, 2000 bombing of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Blumentritt station in Manila.

Regardless of Yunos’ plea, however, State Prosecutor Peter Ong is confident the government can ensure Yunos’ conviction on multiple murder and multiple frustrated murder charges for the bomb attack.
