The enemy with a
blurred face |
|
Suddenly, the military has found itself fighting
Muslim militants on two fronts. In Basilan, a Marine-led offensive
is under way to hunt down the killers of 14 soldiers, some of whom

ranged against Abu Sayyaf and Moro National Liberation Front
guerrillas who killed 26 soldiers in two ambuscades last week.
