Title: 2 US troops killed in Philippines blast
Post by: Foxy Brown on October 02, 2009, 11:32:31 AM
Two U.S. sailors and a Filipino marine were killed Tuesday in a roadside bomb believed planted by al-Qaida-linked militants. They were the first American troops to die in an attack in the Philippines in seven years.

A senior Filipino commander said, however, that the attack was unlikely to shake the Americans' resolve to fight Muslim extremists in the country. (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5h30hTsG16IE9GlKLcHW9BZwlRzQAD9B136M00)
