"They have been attacking our troop locations,
killing our soldiers. We will not tolerate them. We
will deal with them according to the law. We will
look for them wherever they are. They are not
agitating for anything , they are just into crime.
Communities should be patriotic enough to
expose these criminals. They have noting to fear.
