US to fly night air patrols in PI
US Special Forces troops will mount night air patrols over a southern Philippine island to help track down Islamic militants holding an American couple hostage. The flights are part of training for the poorly-equipped Philippine military in its battle against the Abu Sayyaf rebels, who are also accused of having links with Saudi militant Osama bin laden's al-Qaeda terrorist network.
