| Al Qaeda-linked militants killed two Philippine marines in an ambush Saturday on a southern Philippine island, a military spokesman said. The two men, who were intelligence operatives, were passing through a village outside Panamao town on Jolo island when their motorcycle broke down, navy spokesman Lt. Col. Edgard Arevalo said. They were then attacked by Abu Sayyaf gunmen, he said. |
