Rebels Declare Cease-Fire in Philippines
[snipped. Re-run from yesterday...]President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo ordered intensified military attacks against Moro front units on May 17 in response to bombings and raids that have killed more than 210 people this year. The government says MILF, which has been fighting for a separate Muslim homeland for more than three decades, risks being declared a terrorist organization unless it turns over those responsible for recent attacks. The Moro front statement declaring a unilateral cease-fire appeared on the rebel Web site Wednesday. Right next to the Osama T-shirt offer and the "Death to America" bumper stickers.
