Jibin Arula should hire someone to write a book on this and he will be a millionaire overnight.

Sad to say, he passed away a couple of years ago Lone survivor of Jabidah Massacre dies in vehicular accident In one of those interviews, he has these to say Quote: Arula says if he had not lived to tell his story, the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) which reckons its founding date to March 18, 1968, would not have been set up and there would have been no 200,000 or so deaths in the years the MNLF fought. “I am not an important person but I remember this conflict originated from that [Jabidah] case so they might see from Davao to Cotabato that I am still alive, that I am with them to ask help. What I want, in my age, is that even if die, there would be no more conflict in Mindanao,” Arula said.

I still think a movie or book be made about him on whatever is left known and the proceeds be given to his surviving children and wife if still alive.

The CIA trained Cuban emigres so they could re-capture Cuba from Fidel Castro but at the same time deny they had any involvement in the effort. The US military could then intervene when the job was done and say free Cubans had requested US help to recognize their new country. Well, it didn't work out that way. Castro had advance warning somehow this was going to happen - maybe a spy within the "free Cubans" being trained by the CIA - and was able to trap the invasion force as soon as they landed - in the Bay of Pigs. Also, the CIA was involved in a plot to overthrow Sukarno of Indonesia using disgruntled army officers - and using the same m.o. as the Bay of Pigs earlier in 1957. But that's a different story.
