MILF terrorist camps overrun in the Philippines

Not the MILFs from American Pie. Radio Australia

The Philippine army says it's overrun more than a dozen camps occupied by Muslim insurgents in the southern Philippines, recovering a cache of weapons.

The week-long "clearing" operation is designed to flush out what the military says are the rogue commanders of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, responsible for ongoing attacks since peace talks collapsed last August. Around a quarter of a million people displaced in the fighting are still living in evacuation camps and home stays across Mindanao. Some families have been able to return to their villages, but many others return home only to be forced to flee again.
