now known as Al Harakatul Islamia.

In rejecting the terrorists' demands, President Estrada said he would not
compromise with them and that their leaders should be taught a lesson.

MALUGO, Basilan -- Government negotiators are set to deliver 185 sacks of rice
to the Abu Sayyaf so negotiations can start for the release of 31 hostages.

Government negotiators had earlier brought with them 15 sacks of rice, 185
sacks fewer than what the Abu Sayyaf had demanded.

Abu Asmad Allyuddin, the group's spokesman, warned they would cut off
negotiations and hold Vatican representative Fr. Nestor Banga and the ulamas
(Muslim religious leaders) if the government does not make the delivery.
