In Maimbung, Sulu, the Marines and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency uprooted 100,000 marijuana plants that were at least eight feet tall. The Terrorists are thought to be moving in the direction of Afghanistan and other countries populated by Terrorists that fund their purchase of weapons , equipment and supplies by selling large amounts of illegal drugs. Some believe that this discovered plantation of marijuana may be the tip of the iceberg of unknown drug selling by the Abu Sayyaf who live away from cities out in the mountains or hinterlands.
This operation was apparently carried out like a combat mission against the Abu Sayyaf. Civilians gave the tip of this illegal drug operation to the Marines.
Many believe that the Southern Philippines is more like Afghanistan than similar to the rest of this beautiful democratic Country.
