...MILF has formally rejected Osama bin Laden's post-9/11 call for a worldwide jihad, and leaders deny training foreign militants or being part of any terror network. But the group isn't a monolith; radical elements appear to be ignoring the party line. "We believe that the MILF leadership means well but they cannot control their troops on the ground," said Armed Forces of the Philippines spokesman Lieut. Colonel Jose Cristino Mabanta.

The concrete monolith known as Olympic Stadium is among the dying breed of domed arenas boasting a stuffy indoor atmosphere, an artificial surface and a retractable roof that could never retract.
