The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is more than ready
to meet the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) total war threats against its units
conducting "focused military operations" against the bandits in Sulu.
This was disclosed by AFP public affairs office chief Col.
Edgard Arevalo Friday.
"The AFP is more than ready to respond to ASG total war
threats," he added.
Arevalo said the "sea denial" concept being
practiced by the AFP off Sulu waters will also help counter these threats.
At the moment, a naval task group composed of sea, air and
land assets is ensuring no sympathizers of the ASG can reinforce, resupply or
provide an escape path to the beleaguered terrorists.
The naval task group will also provide the military the
punch needed to go after unlicensed speedboats, unmarked fishing craft and
wharves and docks illegally operating in the Sulu area, Arevalo added.
