FORTUNATELY, SHE'S MORE COURAGEOUS THAN THEIR GOVERNMENT:

Burnham to testify in Philippines, friends say (ROY WENZL, 7/27/04, The Wichita Eagle)

Gracia Burnham, the missionary from Rose Hill who survived abduction by terrorists in the Philippines jungle, has returned to the Philippines to testify against people involved with her kidnapping, friends said.

Burnham survived more than a year in the jungle, but saw her husband, Martin, killed during a June 2002 rescue by the Philippines army. Gracia Burnham was wounded in the leg.

The Abu Sayyaf terrorists who abducted her have been linked to al-Qaida.
