MANILA 1456 ¶B. MANILA 1847 ¶C. MANILA 2108 ¶D. MANILA 2105 ¶1. (SBU) Below is a list of 53 suspected militants provided to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) (a copy has been faxed to EAP/PMBS). MILF officials have publicly stated they are in the process of "validating" the list, and the names will form the foundation of jointly executed investigations and arrests using the GRP-MILF Ad Hoc Joint Action Group (AHJAG) (ref A). ¶2. (SBU) An MILF AHJAG official privately stressed to poloff that Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) and Pentagon Gang suspects can be arrested easily. He noted, however, that Jemmah Islamiyah (JI) personalities are "difficult to locate" because they operate in isolated areas and are suspicious of outsiders. The AHJAG official requested pictures of the JI suspects on the list. In response we have offered to brief the AHJAG on the Department's Rewards For Justice and DoD Rewards Programs. On an upcoming trip to Cotabato City, Acting DCM and accompanying US military officers will offer briefings on the rewards programs to city Mayor Muslimin Sema, the local Sixth Infantry Division Commander, and the Malaysian-led International (Ceasefire) Monitoring Team. ¶3.
