Philippines on Phire

There is a WAR THERE, and the Zionist-controlled War Daily I buy are IGNORING IT!

I guess that's because it is ONLY MUSLIMS BEING KILLED -- although you would be hard pressed to find that in any Zionist War Daily article.


It is just the continuous Muslim bashing that they do day in and day out.

"South Philippines tense after deadly rebel raids" by August 19, 2008

MANILA, Philippines: Military forces were strengthened Tuesday in the southern Philippines in anticipation of fresh Muslim rebel attacks after a guerrilla rampage killed at least 28 people and displaced about 44,000 townsfolk.

A senior army general said additional security forces were deployed to prevent a repeat of Monday's carnage, when about 200-500 Moro Islamic Liberation Front guerrillas cut off a main highway and raided up to five coastal towns in Lanao del Norte province.

The national disaster agency said about 44,000 people were displaced, most of them taking refuge in 19 evacuation centers in nearby Iligan and Ozamiz cities.

In Iligan, Lanao del Norte's provincial capital and industrial center of 300,000 people, authorities imposed a 10 p.m.-5 a.m. curfew and suspended schools due to bomb threats and the unstable security situation. The military deployed tanks in the city, and air force helicopters flew overhead.

Chief rebel negotiator Mohaqher Iqbal said if nothing comes out of the current peace process with the government, the guerrillas will return to war. A series of violent attacks in the south has raised doubts over peace prospects.

On Sunday, rebel forces attacked an army convoy, killing four soldiers and four militiamen. Several homemade bombs were defused last week, and three explosions Sunday rocked hotels in Iligan, wounding three people.

Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno said the government sympathized with rebel leaders who cannot control their "renegade elements." But he warned it may reconsider the peace process if the attacks continue.
