BIFF Boys Bomb Philippine Soldiers
[BenarNews] Suspected members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters
...a MILF splinter group aligned with the Islamic State...
detonated a homemade bomb, leaving one soldier dead and seven others maimed earlier this week, the military said on Friday.

The soldiers were aboard a military truck in a remote village in Maguindanao province when they were attacked late Wednesday night, regional military front man Lt. Col. John Paul Baldomar said. He did not say why the incident was made public two days later.

BIFF is a splinter group of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, a former separatist group that signed a peace deal with Manila and now controls an autonomous Moslem region in the south.

Like the Abu Sayyaf
...also known as al-Harakat al-Islamiyya, an Islamist terror group based in Jolo, Basilan and Zamboanga. Since its inception in the early 1990s, the group has carried out bombings, kidnappings, murders, head choppings, and extortion in their uniquely Islamic attempt to set up an independent Moslem province in the Philippines. Abu Sayyaf forces probably number less than 300 cadres. The group is closely allied with remnants of Indonesia's Jemaah Islamiya and has loose ties with MILF and MNLF who sometimes provide cannon fodder...
Group, BIFF is a bad boy group that has also pledged allegiance to the so-called Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
murderous Moslem group.
