The Philippine government says it is ready to withdraw some security
forces deployed near a hideout of the extremist Abu Sayyaf to
facilitate negotiations for the release of three kidnapped Red Cross
workers. The Islamic militants have threatened to behead one hostage if
security forces remain in position.
Philippine Interior
Secretary Ronaldo Puno says the government is considering pulling back
police and civilian defense forces from the area, in an attempt to save
the lives of the Red Cross hostages.
Puno says the Marines have already returned to barracks.
But
he insists that the government is not bowing to the demands of the Abu
Sayyaf for a wider pull out from the southern island of Jolo because it
is tantamount to surrounding the population there into the hands of the
Islamic extremist group.
The Abu Sayyaf kidnapped three Red
Cross workers - a Filipino,

wounding the group's leader. He threatened to behead one hostage if the
government fails to withdraw from the area by Tuesday.
Puno's
announcement came after the International Committee of the Red Cross
appealed to the government to consider the rebels demand. Anastacia

government to refrain from further military operations in the area.

our staff,
