| Arroyo vows to destroy Abu Sayyaf |
| 2005-02-15 |
| PHILIPPINE President Gloria Arroyo has vowed to wipe out the al-Qaeda linked Abu Sayyaf group after it claimed three bombings that left 12 people dead and over 130 wounded. Arroyo today called on the public to unite behind the fight against terrorist groups after yesterday's bombings in Manila and the southern cities of General Santos and Davao. "More than ever, we must not pull back, but move forward to wipe out the remnants of the Abu Sayyaf," Arroyo said in a statement. "The evil of terrorism has only one aim. It is to rule with absolute power and absolute force. The desperation of the enemy cannot be underestimated, even as it lies in the throes of defeat." |
