	Terrorism - Terrorist Network - In the Spotlight: Moro Islamic Liberation Front
		The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in southern Philippines is now in the limelight for possible connection to al Qaeda, and for being an organ in the expansive association of terrorists in Southeast Asia who are together looming as a formidable threat to the international community.
		The MILF was a matter of concern for the Philippines government long before recent discoveries of al Qaeda links brought it to the headlines.
