JIHAD IN THE PHILIPPINES HAS CREATED 130,000 REFUGESS

BBC:

Nearly 130,000 people have fled their homes following renewed fighting in the southern Philippines between the army and Muslim rebels, officials have said.

There has been controversy in the region over a deal to expand a Muslim autonomous zone there.

The tensions in North Cotabato province came a week after a formal deal on the expansion was blocked by the courts.

The military said the violence would not halt voting in elections in the nearby autonomous region of Mindanao.

Voters there are choosing a new governor, vice governor and members of a regional legislative assembly.

North Cotabato is not part of the vote, because it is not included in the five-province Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, which was created in a 1996 peace accord between the government and Muslim rebels.

Regaining ground

Troops began their attack on Sunday, after Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebels in North Cotabato ignored a 24-hour deadline to leave the area.

Map Soldiers continued to bomb Muslim rebel positions for a second day on Monday.

THESE CLASHES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH NEOCONS, JEWS, ISRAEL,OR BUSH.
