DND seriously looking into text messages claiming of terror attacks

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 25): DND seriously looking into text messages claiming of terror attacks

While the military is still to verify text messages claiming that the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) will deploy women suicide bombers in its planned attacks in Metro Manila malls, the Department of National Defense (DND) announced it is looking at such threats seriously.

"Texts like these have been circulating for some time and they have proven to be hoaxes," DND public affairs service director Arsenio Andolong said.

"Nevertheless, we take all of them seriously and we will certainly look into this one," he added.

Andolong, however, said that they have not received any intelligence report on the matter as of this posting.
