Terror related headlines below the fold

Laser pointed at plane in Australia...the article mentions that there have been 80 laser attacks on planes...every once in awhile you read about this in the US...wonder if anyone is counting the numbers or arresting anyone?

In the Philippines, Father Bossi is going to Italy...and Catholic foreign missionaries will be banned from Mindanao.

They claim no ransom was paid, but few here believe it. Indeed, the fact that the Indonesians from Abu Sayyaf can now get the MNLF to break the truce and ambush another convoy of Philippine soldiers suggest that they now have a lot of money to spread around. LINK.

Due to pressure from Japan and Canada and leftist groups, the government allowed time for the MILF to give back the kidnappers and those who mutilated the Marines. Instead, now we read the MNLF is now protecting the kidnappers and terrorists...money will buy you anything...and crime/terrorism/militants overlap each other, along with the usual feudal politics/political corruption mean it will be a problem to clean up. And now that the army is preparing an offense, we hear cries for peace by the same groups that destroyed the peace....

So cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war...thanks to the Italian government paying ransom.
