MANILA, Philippines — Islamic separatists attacked several towns and villages on Monday in the southern Philippine region of Mindanao, killing at least 28 people, officials said, in a rampage that was reportedly aimed at civilians.
President Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo ordered the military and the police “to defend every inch of Philippine territory” against the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, the main Islamic separatist group operating in Mindanao.
The Moro Islamic Liberation Front has fought for an Islamic state in Mindanao for several decades.
