Palace to Nur: "We will find you"

From the Philippine News Agency (Oct 10): Palace to Nur: "We will find you"

Government would continue to hunt Moro National Liberation Front founding leader Nur Misuari, who is facing rebellion charges in connection with the recent siege in Zamboanga City.

Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda made the statement after MNLF spokesperson Emmanuel Fontanilla belittled the arrest warrant for Misuari and admitted the leader will remain in hiding.

"Of course that's going to be their position. We'll go after him. We will find you," Lacierda said at a media briefing.

Lacierda said border patrol guards in southern Philippines have tightened the cordon to make sure that Misuari does not escape from authorities.

While he repeatedly declined to answer if they know Misuari's whereabouts, Lacierda said they believe the Moro leader is still in the country.

"There have been unconfirmed reports [that he had left the country] but our reports say he's in the Philippines," Lacierda said.

On Wednesday, a Zamboanga court issued an arrest warrant against Misuari, his top commander Ustadz Habier Malik and several others for perpetrating a deadly attack in Zamboanga City last Sept 9.

Misuari and his men are facing rebellion charges and violation of humanitarian laws.
