Filipino marines look at the flag-draped coffins of their slain comrades during a wake at a Catholic chapel in Zamboanga City in the Philippines. Fourteen marines were killed, ten of them beheaded, and 9 others wounded when they were ambushed by heavily armed Muslim insurgents as the marines were combing the jungles for kidnapped Italian Catholic priest Giancarlo Bossi Tuesday. The military said at least 300 al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf militants, joined by 'lawless groups,' ambushed the heavily outnumbered marines. (AP Photo/Al Jacinto) |
