Philippine President Benigno Aquino III has issued a virtual ultimatum to custom beats by dre the remnants of some 300 armed followers of Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) leader Nur Misuari to surrender or face the government's full military might. The rebels staged a pre-dawn attack on Zamboanga City on Sept.9. On Friday, the 12th day of fighting between MNLF forces and the combined military and police forces, Aquino ordered government troops to prepare for a protracted battle against the hardcore rebel forces who have ensconced in some villages. Aquino told his military commander to execute "a well-thought out" operation against the hold-out rebels so as not to harm the civilian hostages. But earlier, Aquino issued an ultimatum to the rebels to surrender. "For the remaining forces of the enemy (let me say that) life is sacred to me. You might want to assess if your life is still valuable, and it's not yet too late to bring an end replica handbags to this, " he said. Aquino, who has remained in Zamboanga City since Sept. 13, said the government will "fight violence with violence." Aquino said he remained in the "war zone" because as commander in chief of the armed forces and the police, it was his responsibility to see to it that all government agencies would handle the crisis properly, not just the armed uprising but also the fate of tens of thousands of displaced city residents. At the military headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo, Brig. Gen. Domingo Tutaan, spokesman for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), said the conflict was taking too long because of the urban terrain that security forces had to deal with. Four Philippine government troopers died while three others got injured as members from the leftist rebel group of New People's Army (NPA) attacked a military detachment in Balingasag, a town in Southern Philippine province of Misamis Oriental on Sunday. Taliban militants fighting Afghan government and NATO-led forces to regain power in the militancy- plagued Afghanistan, contrary to the past, have been enormously using the internet in the propaganda war, a change of mind unthinkable 12 years ago. The armed outfit which was dethroned by the U.S.-led military coalition invasion in late 2001, had outlawed internet, cheap soccer bootstelevision, video player, cinema, photography and all kind of entertainment during its six-year rule which collapsed in late 2001, nowadays is largely relying on internet to send out its activities and messages to the world. Today, the Taliban outfit has several websites to publish their military and political activities and put on wire for its readers across the globe. Contrary to the past, which the fundamentalist outfit had banned Photoshop and filming, the Taliban militants today put on display the clips and footage of their activities, which are carried mostly in the shape of suicide attacks, roadside bombings and car bombs against the security forces. Their websites in English, Arabic, Dari, Pashtu and Urdu languages, are full of written stories, articles, clips and photos of Taliban activities against Afghan and the NATO-led forces based in discount soccer cleats Afghanistan. Clinging on re-establishing Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the name given to Taliban's ousted regime, the armed outfit in its statements and stories posted on its websites often propagated that the Mujadhiden, or the holy warriors, of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan have targeted the Afghan and foreign forces, inflicting huge casualties. For instance, the Taliban on Saturday claimed in its website carrying out series of attacks against security forces in several provinces of Afghanistan, including the capital city Kabul, and inflicting casualties. According to Taliban claim posted on its website, Taliban fighters fired a rocket on a unit of Rishkhor Corps in cheap nike air max 90 Charasiab area south of Kabul city, inflicting casualties, a claim rejected by officials as mere propaganda. The militants, in a statement posted on their website, also claimed killing two police and injuring three others in Ahmad Khil District of the southeastern Paktia Province Saturday morning, a claim termed by officials as baseless. Taliban militants, during their rule in 90 percent of Afghanistan, did not allow any living creatures to be pictured. However, today they post the photos of their fighters and their firefight's clips on their websites. To get public attention, the Taliban militants also run a studio named Manbaul Jihad, which films Taliban military activities including conducting suicide attacks and put them on their websites. Captain Christian Uy, spokesman for the Philippine Army's 4th Infantry Division, said an undetermined number of NPA rebels around a military outpost in Kibanban village, Balingasag nike air max skyline shortly after 1 a.m Sunday, unleashing volley of gunfire and throwing Molotov bombs on the installation made of light materials. Uy said a portion of the detachment caught fire in the process, and 18 troops, who were manning the detachment, tried to defend their post but withdrew around 5 a.m. because they were overpowered by the insurgents. "The rebels threw Molotov bombs, burning a portion of the detachment which was made of light materials...They (rebels) were able to get inside (the detachment) and later left," the official said. He said the fighting left an Army soldier and three militiamen dead, while another soldier and two more militiamen were wounded. He said the rebels also suffered casualties as evidenced by traces of blood in their positions, but he did not know the exact figure. Uy said military and police forces have been deployed to pursue the perpetrators. He said coordination is being made with other agencies "to give justice to the victims of this cowardly harassment." The NPA was formed on March 29, 1969. cheap dr dre beats The latest military estimates placed the NPA's strength at about 4,000. Two days ago, limited flights to and from Zamboanga City have resumed and the Zamboanga ports were opened for the first time after the Sept. 9 siege. Several businesses have also reopened. During the siege, Zamboanga City, which is famous for its unique blend of Christian and Muslim culture, has become a ghost city. Meanwhile, the government is preparing the filing of rebellion charges against the MNLF rebels involved in the attack led by a certain Habier Malik, said to be a trusted Misuari commander. Interior Secretary Mar Roxas who, like Aquino, has stayed in the city since the start of the crisis, said that charges would be filed against MNLF members who were either captured or have surrendered. According to military authorities, the 12 days of fighting resulted in 113 deaths, 172 wounded, 111 rebels either captured or have surrendered, while 172 civilian hostages rescued by government forces.

They are now sheltered in several evacuation centers in the city. There is still no official estimate as to the total damage in properties, both public and private, as a result of the siege but it could reach to millions of U.S. dollars.
