"The U.S. backed off plans to send troops to chase down the Abu Sayaf terrorist group in the southern Philippines. Pentagon officials on Feb. 20 said [3,000] 1,750 U.S. Marines and Special Operations troops would fly to the Philippines to take part in a joint operation with Philippine soldiers against the Abu Sayyaf, which despite its small size has earned a grisly reputation for both its loose ties to al Qaeda and its habit of executing hostages."

The Philippine Constitution, meanwhile, prohibits foreign troops from fighting on Philippine soil, forcing the Pentagon to revise its plans."
