AFP tells public not to spread text messages claiming of terror attack

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 24): AFP tells public not to spread text messages claiming of terror attack

While it is still to validate text messages claiming that the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) will be using women suicide bombers to target malls in Metro Manila, the AFP urged the public not to further circulate these messages as it only causing undue panic.

This was stressed by AFP public affairs office chief Col. Edgard Arevalo in a briefing Wednesday.

"So far we are still to receive any particular information about that, as for us, we would like to appeal to our people not to be part (in) circulating these text messages because it unduly alarms our people, it does not do us any good," he added.

Arevalo also said they have already taken note of these information and determining if these could be forwarded to intelligence personnel for validation.
