Philippines: Moro Islamic Liberation front rejects autonomy proposal as “inadequate”

By

They want a “substate” arrangement that would require changing the country’s constitution. It would be a win-win situation for the jihadists: all of the benefits of sovereignty, without the full responsibility of acting like a real state.

Israel concerned about fate of Assad’s weapons if regime falls

By

The U.S. and NATO have already been trying to secure Gadhafi’s arsenal, which includes mustard gas, through the Libyan rebels.
