MILF won't surrender fugitive commanders to military
2005-01-14
May I have a suprise meter here?
THE MORO Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) will not surrender its commanders who led an attack on an Army base in Maguindanao despite a 72-hour deadline by the military, one of its leaders said Friday.

"The MILF will definitely punish those responsible for the attacks,
Naughty! naughty little boy! For that you have to go play in the harem for the next few nights! Hey! Stop smiling!
but turning them over to the government is out of the question," Jun Mantawil, chairman of the MILF peace panel said in a statement posted on the rebel group's website. "This is an unfortunate turn of events particularly after the diversion peace talks regained some ground with its resumption in Kuala Lumpur recently," Mantawil added.

Meanwhile, the military said it would continue pursuit operations against the rebel commanders if the MILF would not surrender "With or without them surrendering, we will continue to undertake our law enforcement duties," military spokesman Brigadier General Alexander Yano told reporters in Camp Aguinaldo via telephone. "Our mandate is to pretend to hunt them down as plain criminals regardless of what their action plan is, with or without the 72 hours
 We just gave them the chance to voluntarily surrender their arms," Yano said.them.
