New rebels plan killings in RP

ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines (DPA): Disgruntled rebels plan to
launch attacks in southern Philippine coastal communities before
the end of the year to test new recruits, the military said
yesterday.

The latest recruits to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front
(MILF) have been undergoing training inside rebel camps in
Tungawan town and are to be sent on test missions involving the
killings of police and military personnel in Zamboanga del Sur
province, according to the Army's 1st Infantry Division.

Some 300 guerrillas with the MILF, the largest separatist
group, and the Abu Sayyaf, the most violent, "would
simultaneously launch attacks in the coastal towns of Ipil and
Kabasalan", said the intelligence report.

The report identified Ustadz Gumama Campo, an intelligence
officer with the MILF, as the alleged leader of the recruits.
