TALIPAO, Philippines (1 May 2000) -- The foreign hostages being held by Muslim extremists wrote letters to their embassies asking officials to pressure the Philippine government to stop military action. "We are in a very serious situation. I would like to make that clear," said German Werner Wallert. "We are risking our lives here, and if the Philippine government should try to march in and find a military solution, there will be bloodshed, nothing else." © CDNN - CYBER DIVER NEWS NETWORK | | Sipadan hostages |
