" Nichols' father-in-law, a Filipino policeman named Torres, told Philippine-government investigators that he had found bomb-making manuals in Nichols' luggage in late 1994 when Nichols stayed at the family's home in Cebu City, at precisely the same time Angeles placed Nichols in meetings there with Youssef. The FBI claims Torres retracted these statements, but Jones says he reaffirmed them in subsequent depositions with Philippine authorities. "To me, that increased his credibility," Jones tells INSIGHT.
Re: the "shadowy figure" Edwin Angeles, in the Phillippines, from the Manila Times.
"Angeles made these revelations in the newsroom of ABS CBN, the country's largest TV network, but top officials, instead of giving him protection, decided to send him to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) for a witness protection programme."
"This paved the way for the authorities to arrest him and send him to Basilan, southern Philippines, where he was charged with 54 counts of kidnapping. He was acquitted because he presented orders from his supervisors on the cases filed against him."
Also again from Timmerman.
"The video interrogation linking Nichols to Yousef, bin Laden and Iraq initially was obtained by Stephen Jones, the defense attorney who represented convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. But at the insistence of federal prosecutors, trial judge Richard P. Matsch refused to admit it into evidence."
and, from the same article
"Johnston informed Jones last week he would be serving him with a desk subpoena to obtain this and other materials that were either sealed by the court or not admitted as evidence in the McVeigh trial. Shortly after Johnston got off the phone with him, Jones received threatening calls from federal prosecutors in Denver and Oklahoma City, warning him not to release the materials, Insight is told by a close associate of the lawyer. Jones did not return several calls by press time.
Please consider all the implications.
