It is becoming apparent that the US was directly working with Aquino. Information has surfaced that Aquino himself, working with the Zamboanga-based US military command, coordinated the operation with suspended PNP Chief Alan Purisima, who in turn mobilized his trusted officers and men from Central Luzon and elsewhere to carry out the operation without the knowledge of other police and military officials.
Lumalabas na direktang nakikipag-ugnayan ang US kay Aquino. Lumitaw ang impormasyon na si Aquino mismo, na kaugnayan ang kumand ng militar ng US na nakabase sa Zamboanga, ang nagkokoordina ng operasyon kasama ang suspendidong hepe ng PNP na si Alan Purisima, na nagmobilisa naman ng kanyang pinagkakatiwalaan mga upisyal at tauhan mula sa Central Luzon at iba pang lugar para isagawa ang operasyon nang di ipinaaalam sa iba pang upisyal ng pulis at militar.
