From the Philippine Star (Oct 3): AFP to boost intel
efforts vs. BIFM
The military on Wednesday said it is conducting “proactive measures” to prevent the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Movement (BIFM) from conducting atrocities as the peace talks between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front resumes. Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) spokesman Col. Arnulfo Burgos, Jr. said the BIFM, which has vowed to sabotage the peace process, remains a concern. “It (BIFM) is still a security concern. We take it seriously. While it is not the most serious threat, we devote efforts on that. What is important is we (implement) proactive measures,” Burgos said.... The military said the BIFM has about 400 members.
