[Title] => US to help make South ‘inhospitable’ to terrorists
[Summary] => ZAMBOANGA CITY — US military forces will continue helping the Armed Forces make southern Philippines "inhospitable" to any terrorist group.
But Lt. Col. Anthony Abati, new chief of the US Joint Special Operation Task Force-Philippines, told reporters that the fight against terrorism needs the total cooperation of the citizens.
"If we don’t come together (and if they don’t) share our ideas and goals, then the terrorists will win and that is a trap we must avoid," Abati said.
