                    [Title] => US: RP no longer part of coalition
                    [Summary] => The Philippines has been dropped from the United States-led "coalition of the willing" as the US and its allies adopted a common policy stressing that no concessions must be made to terrorists.


"No. At this point, no," US State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said when asked whether the Philippines was still a member of the coalition, consisting of countries that supported the US-led military strike on Iraq in 2003.

The US State Department said the policy centered on an unequivocal rejection of terrorism and refusal to bow to any demands made by abductors in Iraq who have beheaded some captives.

The 32 remaining coalition members are determined not to succumb to terrorist threats, Boucher said in a press briefing here Wednesday.
