MANILA, Philippines – Three Red Cross hostages survived two days of fierce jungle clashes that killed three marines and up to seven al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf captors in the southern Philippines, officials said Wednesday.
The Italian, Swiss and Filipino aid workers, their hands tied, were seen running with their captors toward a mountain after the militants fought with marines near Indanan township on southern Jolo Island, police Chief Superintendent Bensali Jabarani said.
Sen. Richard Gordon, who heads the local Red Cross, said he spoke with Abu Sayyaf commander Albader Parad by mobile phone and was told the hostages, who have been held for more than two months, were unharmed.
Gordon strongly criticized the marines for opening fire on the Abu Sayyaf gunmen Monday because it could have provoked the militants to hurt the hostages.
