Lanao del Norte governor Mohammad Khalid Dimaporo said he will favor the use of American forces equipment to run after rogue MILF guerrillas should it be allowed by Philippine laws.
The governor was speaking out of the urgent need to flush-out fugitive Moro rebel leader Abdullah Macapaar alias Commander Bravo for pillaging villages in Lanao del Norte last month.
“We want to use sophisticated equipment to track down Bravo and get him, but, only the US forces have it,” he said.
He added, however, that unless the MILF will be labeled as a terrorist group, “only then that the American Armed Forces will allow us the use of their equipment.” (PIA/Bohol)
