Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. yesterday cried foul and blasted the Philippine National Police over the alleged torture inflicted by the police on former Basilan town Mayor Hajarun Jamiri, to force him to implicate in the Batasan blast, Anak Mindanao party-list Rep. Mujiv Hataman, his brother Jim and former Deputy Speaker Basilan Rep. Gerry Salapuddin, as the brains behind the November bombing at the House of Representatives, that claimed the lives of Basilan Rep. Wahab Akbar and four others.
