Kevin Lunsman, a kidnapped American teenage boy, talks to Filipino soldiers inside the Philippine military compound in Zamboanga city, southern Philippines, following his escape from suspected al-Qaeda-linked militants. Lunsman, 14, wandered without shoes for two days in a southern Philippine jungle before villagers found him, ending his five-month captivity, officials said Sunday. Lunsmann said he told his four armed captors that he would take a bath in a stream and then made a dash for freedom, police Senior Superintendent Edwin de Ocampo said. He followed a river down a mountain until villagers found him late the next day, de Ocampo said. |
