That pre 9-11-2001 tape of Ben Laden that discussed hitting NYC also mentions the Philippines.
Published reports have said that bin Laden had sent emissaries to Manila and Mindanao prior to 9/11 to establish "sleeper cells." Both the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines believe that the Abu Sayyaf is getting funds from Qaeda, as well as training from Indonesia-based JI. Recently, the military renewed its offensives against the bandits who have suspected of hiding JI operatives Umar Patek and Dulmatin. The Indonesians were linked to the twin bombings in Bali, Indonesia in 2002.The military said Thursday that Abu Sayyaf chieftain Khadaffy Janjalani and Patek were critically injured in the ongoing firefight in Mindanao...
And ABS-CBN is planning to show the Philippine connection with 9-11: Pinoy cops discovered the plan after the bombing of a PAL plane in 1995...no one believed them...
Right now, terror level is high for Mindanao and medium for Manila.
But in our area, our "terrorism" is lowgrade NPA and anti leftist violence...
