Islamist insurgents in the Philippines linked to al-Qaida have sought to emulate other wildly successful internet fund-raising efforts with a video appeal for cash on YouTube.

Abu Sayyaf posted a nine-minute clip from an hour-long film titled "The Filipino Lions are Coming" on the video-sharing site a week ago.

The video features scenes from its jungle training camps and archived speeches by its founder, Abdul Raziq Janjalani, and his younger brother who succeeded him, Khaddafy Janjalani.

Until I saw this story I never knew how Americans could denote money to the Filipino Islamists. Fascinating stuff.
