"TERRORIST training camps are flourishing in the Philippines, with at least 40 hardened Jemaah Islamiah operatives indoctrinating recruits to commit mass casualty attacks across South-East Asia, security sources say. They have identified the Philippines as the area of most concern in the region, noting that similar training camps have been closed down in both Indonesia and Malaysia. They said two terrorist groups - Jemaah Islamiah and Abu Sayyaf - ran the camps with the protection of elements of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, which has been running a long secessionist campaign in Mindanao."
