Philippines Jihad Update from Gulf News: "Britain issues travel warning to Philippines"
Manila: Britain on Tuesday warned that terrorists may be finalising terrorist plots in the Philippines and advised its citizens against traveling to the region.
The advisory came after a series of bombings hit southern Philippines, which police blamed on Al Qaida-linked militants. At least three bombings last week killed more than six people and injured 29 others.
"We believe that terrorists are in the final stages of planning further attacks," a British Embassy advisory said, echoing caution from US and Australian embassies.
It cited possible kidnappings of foreigners in resorts and terrorist attacks against "all forms of public transport: road, rail, sea and air."
Authorities have placed Mindanao under "extreme critical alert" - the highest of a four-step public terror warning.
Police in the capital went on alert Tuesday, with President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo urging the public to report suspicious people and activities.
Don't these punks have anything better to do than to plot terrorist attacks all the time?

Hey, they got nuthin' to do.. spendin' up alla that jizya dough. Y'know.. kill some time, kill some strangers... what's the difference to them?
Funny, while listening to a radio aircheck from 1972 the newscast mentioned how Ferdinand Marcos'
troops killed 38 Muslim rebels. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Why is it we don't hear such good news nowadays from there?
The beast is rousing and hungry. Its eyes and claws are throughout the world. Europe and U.S. may get their eyes open too late and fall prey. Israel will be hurt badly but survive; their God will help them. World War III may be between communism -- particularly China -- and Islam for control of the earth. If the 20th Cent. was the bloodiest in history, you ain't seen nothin yet!
