| 2009-04-02 |
| [Straits Times] THE Philippine Red Cross asked Al-Qaeda-linked militants Wednesday for proof that three aid workers held hostage were alive as troops and tanks moved closer amid threats to behead the captives. The governor of southern Jolo island, Sakur Tan, said an informant told him the three Red Cross captives - a Swiss, an Italian and a Filipino - were alive Tuesday hours after the Abu Sayyaf kidnappers threatened to kill one if troops did not withdraw. |

| #2 We launched the Helicopter to pick up the IRC female hostage in Jolo; they will rtb with only our docs on board. Will pick her up in the morning with their entourage. Go figure, there is a bar fine in there somewhere. |
