The death toll rose to 46 on
Monday in clashes that began Sunday between police and Islamist
rebel group Moro Islamic Liberation Front (Milf) on the southern
island of Mindanao, local media sources said.
Fighting broke out following a surprise police raid in which
two terrorist suspects were sought from a Milf splinter group
which opposes the peace deal signed last year.
