The U.S. military has shipped unmanned spy planes to the Philippines to take part in joint anti-terrorism training exercises aimed at wiping out a group holding two Americans hostage, officials said.
The Gnat UAVs--similar to the Predator drones being used in Afghanistan--will give an "extra edge" to the Philippine military, said Army Maj. Cynthia Teramae, spokeswoman for the U.S. contingent.
