                    [Summary] => 



The United States is likely to increase aid to the Philippine military after its success against the Abu Sayyaf terror group, which recently lost two of its top leaders, Malacañang said yesterday.


Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said US officials he spoke with last week were "really very happy" over the news confirming the deaths of Abu Sayyaf chieftain Khaddafy Janjalani and spokesman Abu Solaiman.

Confidential documents obtained by The STAR indicated that the RDF would be a brigade-size composite unit consisting of about 1,500 crack troops from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines who specialized in counter-terrorism.
