How the CPP executed the Plaza Miranda bombing (2nd of 3 parts)

Second of 3 partsEXCERPTS from Gregg Jones' 'Red Revolution':In mid-August 1971, CPP central committee member Reuben Guevarra arrived in Manila for discussions with party officials. Guevarra was a member of the CPP's powerful military commission and was the political officer in charge of the northern Luzon region, which included the Isabela guerrilla front.

When the NPA units set out for the rendezvous in the northern mountains, Cordero was left in charge of a small contingent of guerrillas remaining behind to continue political work in the villages of southern Isabela. Unaware of the arms shipment already en route, Cordero began criticizing the order to pool NPA forces, which he thought was an overreaction to government military offensives.
