War in southern Philippines 'increasingly likely'
Updated
Relations between the Philippine government and insurgents in the south have been steadily worsening in recent months, and an international monitoring agreement in the south is due to expire within weeks. And there are concerns that any new deal won't meet the demands for self-determination wanted by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, or MILF. Unless that's forthcoming, observers fear the militant organisation Jemaah Islamiah may restart attacks in Philippine cities.
