Noy strikes ‘deal’ with MILF, vows ‘all-out justice’
By Virgilio J. Bugaoisan By Virgilio J. Bugaoisan 10/25/2011Feeling the weight of public pressure to launch an all-out war against the Moro rebels who continue to kill government troops, President Aquino yesterday said there would still be no all-out war against the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), but vowed that his administration would intensify military operations, specifically targeting personalities in the MILF who are behind the series of attacks, particularly in Al-Barka, Basilan and in Zamboanga Sibugay in an apparent bid to quell growing outrage by members of the military because of his indecision and weakness in handling the latest outbreak of violence in Mindanao.

"The recent encounter with crack members of the Philippine Army bears a striking resemblance.
"The special forces unit were sent to hunt down Abu Sayyaf fugitives that laid the stage for the MILF ambush. Supposed Abu Sayyaf members lay the trap and the MILF springs it.
"The MILF later issued a statement that the beheading of the soldiers was a warning for government to respect MILF territories."
