The military links MILF to a March 4 blast near the arrival area of the Davao City International Airport that left 21 the public dead and injured more than 100 others. Mindanao was strengthed by a series of blasts last week in the wake of a military offensive against an alleged MILF lair in Pikit early last month Reye said the guidance is studying whether to declare MILF a terror collection as it has done with the Muslim extremist assemblage Abu Sayyaf and with communist rebels. The rule is still trying to negotiate peace talks with the MILF. COPYRIGHT 2003 Kyodo freshs International, Inc. COPYRIGHT 2003 Gale Group
