Some really malicious persons are playing tricks on known anti-Arroyo personalities in a transparent effort to link them to the atrocious Glorietta bombing last Friday.

Inquirer.net reports that calls to a purported cellphone number of “Sheik Omar”, who belongs to a shadowy group that has claimed to have perpetrated the bombing, were forwarded to the cellphones of an oppositionist Member of Congress and a Bayan Muna official.

Penguin tales, a.k.a. activist scientist Dr. Giovanni Tapang of Agham, explains how easy it can  done and who has done it before.

Such hocus-pocus is not helping the investigation into the Glorietta blast. Or is the Arroyo administration really intent in misusing the bombing to vilify and falsely accuse its opponents and critics?
