                    [Summary] => Time to fight back.


Retired general Fortunato Abat filed counter-charges yesterday against Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez and 15 others, accusing them of illegal arrest, among other charges.

Abat was taken in at Camp Crame for questioning by police last Thursday, a day after he declared a "revolutionary transition government" and called for President Arroyo’s ouster.

Police said Abat was not being arrested and was being "invited" for questioning.
