26 dead in Philippine fighting

By Ken Sury | Monday, August 18, 2008, 10:31 AM

Philippine troops today retook several southern towns where Muslim rebels killed at least 26 people earlier in the day in what the guerrillas said was an outburst of frustration with an uncertain peace process.

The retreating Moro Islamic Liberation Front rebels took dozens of civilians hostage in Kolambugan town, said Brig. Gen. Antonio Supnet, head of an army brigade that drove away the rebels.

Officials said 23 civilians were killed in Kauswagan and in neighboring Kolambugan. At least three soldiers were killed, army commanders said.
