Sulu's 'secret invasion' of Sabah plan most likely hatched for political support

KOTA KINABALU: The purported plan for an "invasion" of Sabah was likely concocted to drum up the support of local communities ahead of next year's Philippine elections, sources say.

Sources familiar with the political modus operandi of warlords in Sulu province suspect that calls for the invasion would go down well with the local Tausug communities in Jolo and other islands there.
