Philippines: Jemaah Islamiah Planned to Assassinate President Arroyo...
This is Arroyo's thanks for appeasing Filipino jihadis in the South....
MANILA, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo will skip an official visit to the main military academy this weekend due to an assassination threat by Islamic militants, her chief bodyguard said on Thursday.
Brigadier-General Romeo Prestoza, head of the Presidential Security Group, denied Arroyo had cancelled the trip so she could stay in Manila and monitor anti-government rallies planned on Friday and Sunday.
Prestoza said security officials had called off the Saturday visit to the military academy in Baguio city, north of Manila, after being informed of threats from Jemaah Islamiah (JI), a regional terror group which has a handful of members based in the south of the Philippines.

The only thing more dangerous than a mad jihadist is a grateful one.
