[Title] => Al-Qaeda used RP as testing ground for major attacks
[Summary] =>
The Philippines was a testing ground in the 1990s for al–Qaeda’s major attacks, according to a confidential document obtained by The Associated Press.
Captured terror suspect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s key role in the al–Qaeda plot to simultaneously bomb the commercial planes flying out of Asia – in a 1995 plan called "Project Bojinka" – was one of several admissions that he made, the US Defense Department said.

[Title] => Are the military and police, instead, the ones being harassed?
[Summary] =>
The above headline voices an almost sacrilegious thought. The statistic of 741 militants, activists, church workers, labor leaders and journalists having been assassinated in this violence-riddled country has been bandied about so often, not only locally but in the foreign media that our archipelago is being made to appear worldwide like a slaughterhouse.
Yet, as I inquired in yesterday’s column, how did we come about with this grim and startingly impressive total of politically and ideologically-motivated murders?

[Title] => First plot to blow up US airlines foiled by Manila accident
[Summary] =>
A mysterious chemical fire in a seedy hotel in Malate, Manila in January 1995 foiled the first plot to blow American airliners out of the sky with liquid bombs — a grisly scenario allegedly planned by extremists arrested in Britain.
British authorities said Thursday they had thwarted a terrorist plot to simultaneously blow up 10 aircraft heading to the US using explosives smuggled in hand luggage in a plan that police described as "mass murder on an unimaginable scale."

[Title] => ‘United 93’
[Summary] => The way "talking heads" – from labor leaders, activist, and lawyers, to PNP spokesmen – were blabbering over television last night – we might as well brace ourselves for trouble tomorrow. The usual threats are being made by the radical left to march on Malacañang in an attempt to make Mendiola another "May 1" battleground.
You can be sure any march which tries to push to the Palace and break out of the approved "freedom" zones will be met by a wall of police and military steel. Some activists will be out to provoke this.

[Title] => Cops who ‘saved’Pope from assassins saddened by illness
[Summary] => Policemen who thwarted an alleged 1995 attempt by Islamic extremists to assassinate Pope John Paul II in Manila joined fellow Filipinos in praying for the gravely ill pontiff.
They said the failed plot against the Pope enabled them to uncover other major terror plans.
Filipinos from all walks of life in the predominantly Roman Catholic Philippines have been praying fervently for the 84-year-old Pope, crowding churches during off-hours, lighting candles at home and calling radio stations to share their prayers.
