Terror suspect recaptured

Government forces captured an Al-Qaida-linked militant who had escaped from jail and dropped thousands of leaflets Thursday offering rewards to villagers for helping catch 28 other fugitives. About 2,000 marines, army troops and police have fanned out to hunt down the detainees - most of whom face terrorist-related charges - who escaped from the jail as it came under attack Sunday by suspected Muslim guerrillas. A jail guard and one inmate were killed during the jailbreak, police said.
