| 2005-01-21 |
| THE al-Qaeda linked terror group, Jemaah Islamiya, has standing plans to launch terror activities in key urban centers in Mindanao, military intelligence reports said Friday. The report said that the foreign Jemaah Islamiyah bomb experts have supervised and started the training of new recruits in the island. But Lt. Col. Buenaventura Pascual, Armed Forces Public Information chief, said he has no personal knowledge of the report on the activities of the Jemaah Islamiya. "I don't know about the report. I have not seen any such document if there are," Pascual said in a telephone interview Friday. The report said most of the Jemaah Islamiya trainees are members the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). However, it was not clear if the MILF recruits are regular fighters of the MILF. "JI bomb experts supervise the training of new recruits in the conduct of guerrilla opeÂÂrations and mass production of homemade bombs," part of the report said. It added that the training was conducted by three Indonesians assisted by an unidentified MILF fighter. The report also said that the Jemaah Islamiya are being protected by members of the MILF-Special Operations Group (SOG) and the bandit Abu Sayyaf while in Mindanao. The report added that the Jemaah Islamiya are using local contacts for funds and logistical support as well as manpower while in Mindanao. These contacts supposedly include 15 members of the MILF-SOG and a separate elite force trained in demolition techniques. |

| #1 General Pershing had an interesting means of cooling Moros. He had a bunch of them shot, leaving a few of them alive to see their comrades unceremoniously dumped into a pit and buried with several dead pigs. Then he let the survivors go. |
