Bondi Attackers' Davao Link: Why is Philippines' 'Red Zone' a Terror Haven?

• Bondi Beach attackers, a father-son duo, spent a month in Davao City, Philippines, before the Sydney attack.
• Davao City is a 'Red Zone' due to its bloody history, geographical sensitivity, and proximity to terrorist strongholds.
• It serves as a gateway to areas like Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur, known for IS and Abu Sayyaf presence.
• Southern Mindanao's rugged terrain and porous borders make it a haven and training ground for foreign terrorists.
• The region has a history of separatist movements, insurgencies, and IS-inspired attacks like the 2017 Marawi siege.

Why It Matters: Davao City's status as a 'Red Zone' and terror haven raises suspicions about the Bondi attackers' month-long stay.
