Jaafar said, "We do not live in the dark ages, there are rules and laws that need to be followed. We have an existing ceasefire with the Philippines, and we will not violate that." He called the killing of the US ambassador to Libya and three other Americans in Benghazi a "senseless act of violence." "Even in war, there are international norms that need to be accepted, including the protection of diplomats and embassies," he said, while condemning those behind the amateur film. Jaafar said the MILF would monitor other Moro groups adding, "We will inform government negotiators of any impending terror attacks." |
