| Major Battle Against Abu Sayyaf |
| 2002-06-28 |
| In a Manila speech Friday, President Arroyo said troops overran four Abu Sayyaf camps in southern Sulu province, and are now going after the group's top two leaders. Military officials are still waiting to learn casualty figures for the raids. The operation comes one day after the guerrillas killed one Philippine officer and wounded six other soldiers. That didn't make the Filipino command feel any better disposed toward these guys. It looks like they're making some actual headway, after six months of chasing. Good deal! |
