DAVAO CITY — National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales said here Friday fresh recruits and newly trained members of the al-Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist network were the ones who carried out the latest spate of bombings in Central Mindanao early this week.


"Investigation showed that the old leaders are still the ones overseeing the entire operations of its terrorist cells operating in the south. But these were actually carried out by new recruits," Gonzales told The STAR.
