[Title] => Int’l terror tag sought for Rajah Solaiman Movement
[Summary] => The Philippine government is urging the US and the United Nations to include the home-grown Rajah Solaiman Movement (RSM) in their list of foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs), a security official disclosed yesterday.
Ricardo Blancaflor, executive director of Malacañang’s Anti-Terrorism Task Force (ATTF), said the move to include the RSM is being considered since most of its members are highly educated and have huge financial resources.

[Title] => US military finds model for beating terrorism in RP
[Summary] => HONOLULU (AP) — When US Army Col. James Linder talks about battles won in the war on terror, he doesn’t list enemies killed and targets destroyed.
Instead, the commander of US Special Forces in the Philippines recounts jobs created and schools built.
"We just changed the dynamics of a very small community," Linder said, "from one in which only a few years ago, Abu Sayyaf was coming down from the hilltop with weapons on their back and recruiting the school children, to one in which they can’t come there anymore."

[Title] => MILF slams Singapore terror expert for trying to ‘derail peace process’
[Summary] => DAVAO CITY — The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) said there is "nothing new" in the claim of a Singaporean terrorist expert that the Indonesia-based Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist group is operating in Mindanao.
"Those were old issues rehashed by one Indian-Singaporean who claims to be an expert on terrorism, in an effort to derail the ongoing peace process," said MILF spokesman Eid Kabalu.
"He is just messing up the peace negotiation with his claims about JIs (Jemaah Islamiyah) in Mindanao," he said.
