The World : American Child Kidnaped

The child, identified as Linaces Cawley, was seized Friday while playing outside her house on Basilan Island. Manila newspapers said she is the granddaughter of a Filipino-American, William Cawley. Her abductors were not known. Last week, Muslim rebels released 10 Roman Catholic nuns and an American Protestant missionary kidnaped in separate incidents on Mindanao Island.
