But Fusco insists that he is innocent, claiming "an act of sabotage has been carried...
...same time, Antonio Zumel, apparent chairman of the National Democratic Front, an umbrella group for various guerrilla factions, declared last week that Communist leaders were ready to open talks with the Aquino government "without preconditions," though he expressed skepticism about a cease-fire.
