US to disband anti-terror force in Philippines

MANILA, Philippines: American and Filipino officials have said that the US is disbanding an anti-terror task force composed of hundreds of elite military forces after more than a decade of helping fight al-Qaida-linked militants in the southern Philippines.

Defense secretary Voltaire Gazmin, on Thursday, said that Philippines has been notified by US officials of their plan to deactivate the Joint Special Operations Task Force Philippines, adding that the number of American military personnel has been considerably been reduced in the south.

US embassy spokesman Kurt Hoyer said that the success of the task force in helping Filipino forces beat back militants has led American military planners "to begin on a transition plan where the JSOTF-P as a task force will no longer exist".

Some US troops will remain to ensure the militants cannot recover.
