#1 The MILF is currently negotiating "peace" talks with the Philippine government. My sources tell me they are close to an agreement. The problem they are faced with is the small splinter groups of the MILF.

If an agreement is met between the MILF and the government these splinter groups are going to find themselves in a world of hurt. I can say no more without betraying sensitive information and sources. Do not change that dial. (I usually post and comment under a different name.)

#2 With a name like MILF, they've already lost the war.

#3 Anon,
A 'splinter group'? How convienant to have deniability by calling it a 'splinter group'.

And if the MILF does reach a peace settlement how much you want to bet they will form another 'splinter group' to continue conducting JI training?

Unfortunately the Philippine President is so hard-up for credibility that she will agree to just about anything.

#4 They already had a splinter group - it was called Abu Sayyaf.
